About RiverRun International Film Festival

RiverRun International Film Festival is a non-profit media arts organization dedicated to the role of cinema as a conduit of powerful ideas and diverse viewpoints. Our festival is one of the largest cultural events in the Piedmont Triad and North Carolina. RiverRun is an Academy Award-qualifying festival in two film categories – animated shorts and documentary shorts. In addition to our annual festival, we offer several highly regarded year-round screening programs, including our classic film series, RiverRun Retro; the free ITVS Indie Lens Pop-Up Series; and our free education initiative, Films With Class.
