A touch of Hollywood descended upon the Central Business District this week as the red carpet was rolled out for filmmakers taking part in the Ridgewood Guild’s fifth annual International Film Festival.

This year, the festival is truly an international one with entries accepted from Canada, France, Austria and Iran, some of which will be featured on the additional third night at the Ridgewood Public Library on Friday.

“We’re so proud to be calling ourselves an international film festival this year,” said Ridgewood Guild President Tony Damiano. “We received films from 18 different countries and you’ll see them over the course of this evening and we’ve expanded to a third night on Friday evening.”

With a full roster of student films lined up for opening night, many of the festival’s youngest participants attended on Wednesday evening, excitedly posing for photographs in front of the movie premiere backdrop.

Karlee King, a senior at Paramus High School and a newcomer to the festival world, brought three short experimental films with her that feature the common theme of shooting video at abandoned locations.
