The RiverRun International Film Festival officially released today the full list of competition jurors for the 13th annual Festival returning to Winston-Salem April 8 -17. These jurors will be responsible for determining the best film in RiverRun’s competitive sections: Narrative Feature, Documentary Feature, Narrative Shorts, Documentary Shorts and Animated Shorts.

A number of jurors will also be presenting works in the non-competitive categories. Filmmaker Ava DuVernay, Narrative Features, will present her film, I Will Follow, as a special screening. All That You Love Will Be Carried Away, by UNC School of the Arts senior and Narrative Features juror Alexander Roth, will be screened with NC Shorts. Some jurors are returning to the festival after competing in previous years. Susan Gluth, winner of the Best Director award in the Documentary Features Competition at RiverRun last year for her film Soap and Water, will serve on the Documentary Shorts Jury.

Listed below are the 2011 RiverRun Jurors.
