Our festival is the place to be for action and excitement in Ridgewood in the spring (THIS YEAR OUR THEATER CLOSED SO WE MOVE TEMPORARILY TO WONDERFUL WESTWOOD FOR OUR FESTIVAL).. With its Red Carpet, Oscar Party, Press Coverage, Celebrities, Awards Ceremony, Hollywood-style After Party, film screenings complemented by lively and informative Q&A sessions with cast members and filmmakers, the annual RGIFF is highly anticipated by independent filmmakers, professionals, film lovers and enthusiasts as well as students.
With easy access to New York and centered in Ridgewood (2024 TEMPORARILY MOVED TO WESTWOOD) surrounded by many popular restaurant options, RGIFF is an ideal festival hub for both visitors and locals alike.
Celebrating our 13th anniversary, the Ridgewood Guild’s Annual International Film Festival has grown into a well respected Festival showcasing creative and inspiring filmmakers and films from around the globe.
Our Festival programming provides film entertainment that covers a wide variety of genres, offering something for just about everyone. It gives independent film artists a platform for sharing their work with audiences that might not otherwise have the opportunity to see them.
At the RGIFF, ALL films are fully reviewed ensuring that each film submitted receives fair and equal consideration. Films are eligible for jury awards. All jurors are industry professionals. The winners of jury awards receive outstanding personalized trophies for ‘Best Of. . .’ Each year a $500 scholarship is awarded to the Best High School Student and Best Undergrad College Student Filmmaker.
Looking forward to seeing you on the Red Carpet!
