May 16 may be closing night for the 2021 RiverRun International Film Festival, but screenings of some films are far from over.
âThis is the first time in our history weâre having a closing night film at the drive-in, but there are still going to be films left that people can watch after closing night,â Rob Davis, executive director of RiverRun, said.
As of Sunday, there are 14 films in RiverRunâs Virtual Theater and some of them are available through May 18.
Once a virtual ticket is purchased, viewers have 72 hours to watch the film. That means if a ticket is purchased on May 18 for one of the last four films running through May 18, people will still have 72 hours of viewing.

And while she hadn t intended on only playing trailblazing characters, she certainly doesn t take the responsibility lightly.

Sinopharm has released little data publicly, aside from efficacy numbers for its two jabs – one developed by the Beijing Institute of Biological Products and the other by the Wuhan Institute of Biological Products.
