New to the 2015 edition is the SOS contest (short online streaming), that will take place exclusively online in harmony with the festival. Dedicated to short movie directors, the contest will be hosted on the romefilmmarket.com portal: the most voted short film will win a contract for VOD (video on demand) distribution worth one thousand euro. All of the main films presented at the RIFF will, at the end of the festival, be visible in VOD mode on the romefilmmarket.com portal.
At the end of the festival, thanks to the contribution of MiBACT and of the Lazio Region, the RIFF Awards will be granted, with a value of over 50,000 euro. All information about registration and the deadline for registration is available on the site www.riff.it.
