RIFF WILL BE 30. SEPTEMBER TO 10. OCTOBER

Every year, RIFF aims to present unique experiences available to our guests, like the infamous Swimming Pool Cinema at Sundhöll Reykjavíkur or the Drive-In Cinema, where everyone can enjoy a night of film from the safety of their car.

This year, we are proud to present even more exciting events! At the Nordic House, a Dinner & Movie night will feature the amazing chefs of Sonos, who will serve delicious vegetarian courses centred around the theme of the film. For those who enjoy cinema with an exciting dose of adventure and thrill-seeking, we will screen a film in a cave right outside the city.

And to keep with the ever-evolving times of technology, we will add a new section to the Festival, focused around virtual reality: RIFF-XR, where festival-goers can experience the latest award-winning projects within a world that blends cinema and computer games, in co-operation with Raw Fury.

In addition, RIFF will dedicate a special section to Music in film, screening a variety of musicals as well as documentaries about music. We also turn a special focus towards Dutch Cinema, and many honorary guests from the Dutch film industry will join us!

Throughout the week, there will be several parties to celebrate, provided Covid restrictions allow, for example, A complete take over of the city's beloved Loft Hostel. Both our opening and closing parties are also certain to excite, and we look forward to awarding the most outstanding films and filmmakers of the year!
