RIIFF 2008: Short Films and Festivities August 5-10

RIIFF 2008 Presents a Week filled with Short Films and Festivities August 5-10
and screenings across the State of Rhode Island with 58 World Prémières and 41 US/North American Prémières; and honors actor, Richard Jenkins

With films and filmmakers arriving from across the globe, the Rhode Island International Film Festival (RIIFF) kicks off its 12th Annual event presenting 289 feature length, documentary and short films to be screened over a six-day period. The Festival runs August 5-10th. This year’s Festival will showcase cinematic work submitted from 53 countries. RIIFF will present 58 World Prémières and 41 US Prémières. Following months of adjudication and review, Festival films have been selected from a whopping entry base of 3,000 submissions.

"It's a pretty sensational year for us," said RIIFF Executive Director George T. Marshall, "We have films from all over the world that our audiences will definitely enjoy. They're not just going to be popcorn entertainment. We have some very thoughtful pieces that will inspire, and hopefully encourage audiences to take action.”

For the second year in a row, the Festival’s opening night will Prémière at the Providence Performing Arts Center (PPAC), the elegant and historical 3,300-seat theater. The evening will mark the Prémières of major new work. Actor, John Ratzenberger will be the Master of Ceremonies for the evening. This year, the venue will feature High Definition projection.

Since RIIFF is one of only 61 film festivals world wide that is accredited by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) the Opening Night has become a crowd-pleasing salute to the Art of the Short Film. The work selected to be screened this year on Tuesday, August 5th, includes: Chris Jones’ World Prémière, “Gone Fishing,” from the United Kingdom; Steph Green’s “New Boy” from Ireland; Taron Lexton’s “Struck,” from the United States; Bill Block’s “The Drummer, from the United States; Mark Lapwood’s “Eclipse,” from Austrialia and India; Robert Hackett’s “Patience” from the United Kingdom; Marc Craste’s United States Prémière, “Varmints,” from the United Kingdom; Michael Lloyd Green’s “The Wall” from the United States; Denis Villeneuve’s United States Prémière, “The Next Floor,” from Canada; and Darren Thornton’s North American Prémière “Frankie” from Ireland.

This year, the Festival continues with its partnership with statewide non-profit groups dubbed RIIFF Community Outreach, which gives out 1,000 tickets for opening night; translating to over $20,000 for non-profit organizations. The program gives non-profit groups fundraising and marketing opportunities as well as introduces a new audience to the Festival.

“If we bring more people in the community and introduce them to what we’re doing, and encourage them to keep coming back,” Marshall said. "We want them to discover something beyond the next Hollywood sequel and to take a risk in supporting independent filmmakers."

RIIFF has received national and international recognition and is a qualifying festival with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The largest in New England, the six-day Festival includes films from an assortment of genres, gala events, and educational workshops.

The Festival is not short on name actors who will be gracing the screen with this work this year, or in some cases, behind the camera as director. These include: Alec Baldwin, Alec Mapa, Josh Brolin, Alexis Arquette, Andrei Konchalovsky, Antonio Fargas, Billy Crystal, Blythe Danner, Brad Renfro, Brian Dennehy, Bruce Vilanch, Carol Kane , Cindy Pickett, Clint Eastwood, Dan Savage, Dan Butler , David Arquette, Eddie Adams, Eric Bogosian, Eric Roberts, F.

RIIFF has also become an important vehicle for filmmakers to network and meet industry people, said filmmaker Eric Latek of Phantazma Pictures (Sweet Dreams). It was that opportunity that led to Latek sign on to two television shows, he said.

“What I’ve learned is there are thousands and thousands of film festivals, but only a few really matter, and RIIFF is actually a film festival that counts,” Latek said

RIIFF TO HONOR ACTOR RICHARD JENKINS

The George M. Cohan Ambassador Award will be presented to Rhode Island actor, Richard Jenkins.

The George M. Cohan Ambassador Award is presented semi-annually to an outstanding artist whose work, passion, and drive epitomizes a level of excellence which reflects creatively on their Rhode Island roots. Named after famed Providence entertainer George M. Cohen, who was born on the 4th of July, this award honors truly unique Americans who have made a timeless contribution to the arts and have inspired future generations of Rhode Islanders.

“Throughout his exceptional career, Mr. Jenkins has brought a unique and independent voice to the film industry through a vast body of work that reflects the values associated with George M. Cohan and celebrated with this award,” said RIIFF’s George T. Marshall. “Mr. Jenkins represents the best of Rhode Island and is a source of great pride.”

Richard Jenkins has become one of the most in-demand character actors in Hollywood. Though he has worked steadily since the early '80s, Jenkins may have made his most memorable impression, at least to HBO subscribers, as the patriarch of the family of undertakers on the hit 2001 drama “Six Feet Under.” His character was killed off in the first episode, but Jenkins continued to appear as a spirit lingering in the family's memory -- a good metaphor for the actor's lingering impact on viewers, even when he appears in small roles.

Jenkins, who shares the birth name of Richard Burton, was born and raised in Dekalb, IL, before studying theater at Illinois Wesleyan University. The actor developed a long and distinguished regional theater career, most notably a 15-year stint at Rhode Island's Trinity Repertory Theater, where he served as artistic director for four years. He snagged his first role as early as 1975, in the TV movie “Brother to Dragons,” but did not begin working regularly until a small role in the Lawrence Kasdan film “Silverado” (1985). Supporting work in such films as “Hannah and Her Sisters” (1986), “The Witches of Eastwick” (1987), and “Sea of Love” (1989) followed, and Jenkins spent the early '90s specializing in made-for-TV movies, including the adaptation of Randy Shilts' AIDS opus “And the Band Played On” (1993).

It was not until the late '90s that Jenkins started gaining wider appreciation, especially as he indulged in his talent for comedy. His appearance as an uptight gay FBI agent who gets accidentally drugged was one of the highlights of David O. Russell's “Flirting With Disaster” (1996), allowing him to convincingly (and riotously) act out an acid trip. Working again with Ben Stiller, Jenkins appeared as a psychiatrist in “There's Something About Mary” (1998), which launched a relationship with directors Peter and Bobby Farrelly, who hail from Rhode Island where Jenkins did much of his stage work. Jenkins appeared in the Farrelly-produced “Outside Providence” (1999) and “Say It Isn't So” (2001), as well as in the Farrelly-directed “Me, Myself & Irene” (2000). The actor then shifted over to another set of brother directors to portray the father of Scarlet Johansson's character in Joel and Ethan Coen's noir “The Man Who Wasn't There” (2001). His most recent turn in “The Visitors” (2007) has thrust him into the spotlight for his nuisanced and emotionally complex performance.
