Reykjavik International Film Festival

Hrafn has a tradition for inviting guests from RIFF at his home, weather permitting it includes a visit to his roof when the wind is not too strong...

We spent a delightful evening in good company, and we did not try his snake wine, some did. I personnally know someone who survived the drink.
