This week, the curtain was raised on the 23rd annual RiverRun International Film Festival in Winston-Salem. With more than 1,500 submissions from around the world, it’s full steam ahead with a few COVID-related caveats.
Following last year’s cancellation due to health and safety concerns during the pandemic, RiverRun adapted, reaching new schools and students via Films With Class. That s a program that presents free screenings of documentaries for educational purposes. And Wednesday’s
launch event, which showcased some of the roughly 130 films to be screened this year, was streamed via YouTube.
