In its 12th year, Rome Independent Film Festival (RIFF) includes the Italian premiere of Belfast filmmaker John McIlduff's "Behold The Lamb", a darkly comic road movie set in Northern Ireland.

The 7-day annual festival celebrates new European and international independent films, and allows young filmmakers the chance to present their work to new audiences. RIFF hosts dozens of feature films, documentaries and shorts from over 40 countries, which compete for the RIFF Awards. The event includes seminars and cinema workshops.
