RIFF Film Screening - Narrative Shorts

Be a Part of the Magic Behind the Screen! 
Ridgway Independent Film Festival Screening Series
Presented by FUSE, the Town of Ridgway & The Sherbino

This June, the Ridgway Independent Film Festival is inviting YOU to help shape the future of our 2025 festival lineup! Now officially under The Sherbino’s nonprofit umbrella, RIFF is powered by the community—and we want your eyes, your opinions, and your passion for film.

Join us at the Sherbino Theater on Mondays in June for a special in-person film screening series, where we’ll showcase a curated selection of never-before-seen short film submissions from filmmakers around the world. You’ll get a first look at bold, creative, and boundary-pushing work—some brilliant, some bizarre, all brand new—and help decide what makes the final cut for this year’s festival.

Screening Schedule:

• June 9 – Animated Shorts
• June 16 – Documentary Shorts
• June 23 – Short Shorts (super brief, super bold)
• June 30 – Narrative Shorts

Admission is FREE, but participation comes with a twist:
Audience members must agree to review the films they see using a simple digital platform (logins provided on-site). You’ll even have the option to keep screening from home if you want to see more and help further curate the festival lineup!

As a thank you, each attendee will receive a free drink or drink coupon—good for this event or a future Sherbino-sponsored bash. Total time commitment? Just 90 minutes MAX per night from first frame to final credits.

Whether you're a film fanatic, curious community member, or aspiring critic, this is your chance to see what’s next in indie cinema—and help us make the 2025 Ridgway Independent Film Festival unforgettable.
