A "truly open festival", 24 Hours
In 2004, the ReelHeART International Film Festival
(RHIFF) was founded, by a film supporter and world
traveler of Irish descent who speaks 3 languages.
Our founder had a vision that a new film festival
could be formed to fill the void created by the growing
trend of 'niche' festivals. We are proud to call
ourselves a 'truly open festival', accepting films
of all genres, countries and film lengths.
Knowing our founder speaks English, Spanish and French, was motivation to also
promote English, Spanish and French as the "official languages" of
RHIFF. We will integrate these languages into our festival programming and
promotional materials as often as possible. We hope to reach our goal of offering
a fully tri-lingual web site in 2008.

RHiFF 2007 POSTCARD |
To this end, films submitted in Spanish and French
will not have to be subtitled specifically for our
festival. We believe this will add to the cultural
and creative exchange throughout RHIFF from planning
stages to launch of the 3rd Annual RHIFF Festival
June 18-23, 2007.
This will also help bring cultural mix of dedicated
sponsors, media and filmgoers to our event and establish
long term relationships with RHIFF.
The RHIFF is dedicated to supporting the need for
exposure for all levels of independent filmmakers
around the world.
ReelHeART International Film Festival puts emerging
and student artists alongside established and master
filmmakers in an effort that all filmmakers can be
recognized for their art, rather than their credits.

RHiFF 2007 POSTER |
RHIFF also has a goal to satisfy and challenge the
interests of filmgoers and film supporters to encourage,
reward and celebrate the ReelHeART of film and new
media. Whether filmgoer, filmmaker, reviewer, media
or industry professional, the welcome you receive
at RHIFF will be talked about from one year to the
next, and not just at RHIFF…
