Join us for the annual Riverkeeper Film Festival! Created in 2005, the Neuse Riverkeeper Film Festival has expanded its audience while maintaining a friendly, intimate atmosphere by selecting local community theater venues throughout the Neuse River basin . The Smithfield screening, held at the Neuse Little Theatre on January 29, will begin with a reception at 6:00 p.m. Adult tickets are $10 and tickets for children under 18 or students with a school ID are $5.

This January, Festival-goers may see the story of Martin Dreyer, South Africa's Multi-Sport King, who changed the lives of youth in the Dusi Valley by training them for a canoe challenge; explore the depths of the Atlantic Ocean with local videographer Art Howard; take a journey through the Lower Neuse River watershed and down the Los Angeles concrete river; or enjoy the adventure of two girls who decide to find a new home for goldfish. Other highlights include Oktapodi, an Academy Award-nominated animated film from France , and short documentaries created by middle school students in Raleigh .
