Reykjavik International Film FestivalThe 20th edition of the Reykjavík International Film Festival will take place between September 23rd and October 8th, 2023. Iceland’s major annual film event, the main purpose of RIFF is to offer a wide selection of groundbreaking, independent cinema, and to highlight the work of young and emerging filmmakers, by presenting only first and second works in the Grand Prix competition category New Visions. The objective of the festival is to increase general interest in independent cinema, increase the level of cinematic literacy and enrich film culture in Iceland by offering different cross-platform programs. The First Twelve Films Announced at The Reykjavík International Film Festival - RIFF 2014The Reykjavík International Film Festival, RIFF, takes place between September 25th and October 5th. Screenings take place at Háskolabíó, Tjarnarbió, Bió Paradís and at the Nordic House. A variety of events will take place in Reykjavik and Kópavogur. This year’s festival is certainly a weighty one with a multitude of award-winning films being screened as well as those competing for the acclaimed Golden Puffin. Last year’s festival was a great success and received excellent reviews: “Filmmakers, if RIFF invites you to present your film, don't hesitate, just jump on a plane. The audience may not be big, but it's a friendly, arty and curious one.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GKlo2xWvuI "REYKJAVIK — On the eve of its tenth installment, there was clearly no need for the Reykjavik International Film Festival to convince the world's A-listers to come to Iceland. Christopher Nolanhad just finished shooting a chunk of Interstellar on a nearby glacier. Ryan Gosling was in town, keeping a low profile while working with editor Valdis Oskarsdottir..."
