Party for Corrente kicks off R.I. film fest tonight

PROVIDENCE – The Rhode Island International Film Festival opens today, a whirlwind event set to air 283 films in the next six days.

Tonight, festival organizers plan to show 10 "amazing short films which will include three noteworthy animations,” starting at 7 p.m. at the Columbus Theater on Broadway.

But first, the festival plans to throw an opening night VIP party at the theater – $100 tickets available to the public -- where it will fete Rhode Island filmmaker Michael Corrente, who will receive the festival's creative vision award this year.

For a full schedule and ticket information check the festival's Web site.
