About this event

Welcome to the RIVERSIDE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL 2025 - 23rd EDITION! Get ready for a cinematic experience like no other at The Box Theater.

Annually since 2002, RIFF has brought the best in contemporary international and independent film to the Inland Empire region of Southern California, the fastest growing area in America. In this, our 23rd year, RIFF seeks diverse and challenging films of social upheaval, human conflict, and the boldness of the human spirit, particularly on such topics as U.S. immigrant experiences, veterans’ concerns, and overcoming adversity.

We also enjoy the best of comedy, mystery, science fiction, and horror. We particularly appreciate subtitled films, student films, and animation. A very high percentage of filmmakers and actors attend to present their films, interact with audiences and other filmmakers, and participate in Q&As.
