About the festival

The River's Edge International Film Festival brings independent film to the smart, arts-oriented, mid-American river town of Paducah, Kentucky. It is an easy transition to make. Paducah already has a burgeoning visual and performing arts scene, and the film festival is right in the center of this cultural hub.

The River's Edge International Film Festival is a four-day event built around the showing of quality independent film from around the world. Our focus is both on the film lover, providing multiple venues in which to experience the best the world of cinema has to offer, and on the filmmaker, offering opportunities for exhibition, education, and networking with contemporaries.

The Festival will be held in multiple venues, all within walking distance of one another. Downtown Paducah offers great theater, fine dining, eclectic shopping and exquisite art galleries along a beautiful river front. Patrons can see films in a number of welcoming and comfortable locations, and enjoy the scenic landscape and temperate weather in-between.

An award is given for Best of the Fest as well as at the discretion of our jury panel. We take great care in selecting jurors from all facets of the filmmaking and film festival world.
