Ridgefield is one of the most picturesque towns in Connecticut and is located only 60 miles from New York City. This year, Ridgefield became the first Connecticut town to receive an official designation of having a Cultural District, by the state of Connecticut. This cultural district, along Main Street, contains many RIFF venues.

All films are screened and selected by a team of committed filmmakers and experienced viewers with an eye to discovering extraordinary narrative, documentary, and animated films. Entries are judged on a point system for craft, originality, and storytelling.
