RIIFF Wrap-up I: Hakim, Under My Garden, Gone Fishing, Hold On, and Ikigai

On this episode of Spoiler Alert Radio, we spoke with filmmakers live from the closing night of the 2008 Rhode Island International Film Festival, or RIIFF.
 
This was the 12th year for RIIFF, which over the years has become a leading showcase for independent filmmakers from around the world, screening almost 300 films in six days, bringing in talented visiting filmmakers from across the globe.

Rhode Island International Film Festival is a qualifying festival for the annual Academy Awards in the short film category, a distinction only about one percent of film festivals achieve.

We spoke with creators of the short films: Hakim, Under My Garden, Gone Fishing, Hold On, and Ikigai.  The interviews were recorded live from the Columbus Theatre in Providence, Rhode Island at the RIIFF Wrap Party.

There will be more RIIFF Wrap-up with visiting international filmmakers in our next episode along with more in-depth interviews with festival filmmakers on future episodes of Spoiler Alert Radio.
