The River International Film Festival in Padua – organized by the Researching Movie Cultural Association and supported by the Municipality of Padua, the Veneto Region and the Ministry of Culture – celebrates the richness of the international independent short cinema.
In the suggestive location of Porta Portello, on our floating screen anchored to the waters of the Piovego River, we showcase a selection of works directed by new talents of the contemporary audiovisual scene, with particular attention to emerging cinematography and social and environmental themes. The kaleidoscope of aesthetics, schools and styles that characterizes our programming reflects the fundamental values of the festival:
creativity, freedom, dialogue, inclusiveness and internationalism.
