Every film festival occasionally faces minor issues, like the infamous premature ending of Reservoir Dogs at Sundance in 1992. However, this year’s Rhode Island International Film Festival (RIIFF) seems to have had more significant problems according to several filmmakers who describe it as a chaotic event reminiscent of the disastrous Fyre Festival. The festival, which serves as a qualifying event for various Academy Awards short categories, was reportedly plagued with technical difficulties such as films failing to fill screens and playing without sound or picture. Audience attendance also seemed to be disappointing, with one filmmaker lamenting that only seven people attended their screening, two of whom were intoxicated and left early. The most frustrating aspect for participants was the disorganized planning and communication, with the official schedule being released just a few days before the festival started, causing film teams to rush with travel arrangements. Many participating filmmakers expressed their dissatisfaction to The Hollywood Reporter (THR), which was an official partner of this year’s festival, stating that they received no response from RIIFF regarding their screenings, forcing them to seek information on social media. Some filmmakers are even writing complaints to the Academy about their experiences at RIIFF. RIIFF executive director Shawn Quirk acknowledges the problems but attributes them to the festival being in a state of transition following the death of its founder, George T. Marshall, and recovering from COVID-19. He asserts that submissions for 2025 are up by 20% and promises next year’s festival will be their best yet. — Katie Kilkenny
