How are the films selected for the Festival and who selects them?
The RBFS contracts with a Festival Program Director, currently Joe Bilancio. Joe screens more than 600 films that are submitted for consideration. He also attends other Festivals, consults with distributors, and conducts an extensive search for the highest quality American and international films. In addition, Festival Film Reviews are conducted in the summer to get the input from RBFS members and the general public.
