Red Carpet Experience Providence
The Flickers' Rhode Island International Film Festival invites you to attend our annual Red Carpet Experience. Enjoy all the glamour and festivities of Hollywood's biggest night right here in Rhode Island. The black tie optional event includes cocktail reception, plated dinner, awards reception, and live Oscar Telecast provided by our media sponsor, ABC 6.
The Flickers' Rhode Island International Film Festival (RIIFF) will be celebrating its 42nd edition this year (August 6-11), and to kick off our season, we're thrilled to bring back our annual Oscar Night celebration in partnership with the Rhode Island Film and TV Office. RIIFF has secured its place in the global community as the portal for the best in international independent cinema; earning the respect of domestic and foreign filmmakers, filmgoers and trend watchers. This confluence of art and commerce brings together world-class celebrities, award-winning filmmakers, new talent and audience members in record numbers year after year to our beloved Ocean State. Our Red Carpet Experience celebrates Rhode Island's ever growing cinema arts community, and the people who are making it a reality.
