Inizio del Festival: 09 ottobre 2015      Festival si chiude: 15 ottobre 2015

The fifth year of RIFE again showed the festival to be a must attend event complete with sold out screenings, packed networking events and incredible attendance from film lovers and filmmakers visiting from across the globe. We are eagerly anticipating topping our best year yet at our fourth annual Reel Independent Film Extravaganza. Continuing our partnership with West End Cinema, RIFE15 will once again be held in the prestigious and historic Georgetown sector of Washington, DC for a week long run from October 9 - 16.

The festival will continue to celebrate national and international independent films and filmmakers, with screenings at one of the city's top independent film theaters, West End Cinemas, and parties and events in the surrounding Georgetown area. RIFE15 will once again feature an awards ceremony as well as a filmmaker meet and greet for all attending filmmakers and pass holders.

This event is presented by Reel Independent Film Extravaganza, LLC.
