As it did for many arts organizations last year, COVID-19 rewrote the script for the RiverRun International Film Festival.
The festival canceled last year but is back for 2021, offering a combination of virtual, outdoor and drive-in screenings May 6-16.

âWhat we decided a few months ago was to make it a hybrid festival so that we will have a few outdoor screenings every night that can be safely done,â Davis said. âThe bulk of the festival is virtual.â

As previously reported on March 31, 2021, AbbVie Inc. has petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari to review the Third Circuit’s ruling
