Less than a month remains until the 2026 Rome International Film Festival begins! The event is set for November 5th through 8th. Locals and visitors to Rome, Georgia will enjoy films, live music, parties, workshops, networking events, and special guests.
Opening night festivities on Thursday, November 5th will include a screening of the Oscar-winning short film “The Accountant”, according to Seth Ingram, RIFF Executive/Creative Director. Actor and director Ray McKinnon will be on hand for that screening.
Danny McBride, Jared and Jerusha Hess, and Ethan Embry are also among the industry professionals expected to be at RIFF.
