This September, Reykjavík International Film Festival is back! Here's what to expect as an attendee, and how to enter your film... RIFF filmfestival
is a huge event that takes place in Reykjavík ever year, bringing attendees and talent from across the globe.
Over eleven days in September and October press, visitors and locals are treated to films that rival those shown in Venice, Toronto and Cannes. Its’ signature ‘Golden Puffin’ award is chosen by an international jury and in recent years has gone to films from as far afield as Bosnia and Kazakhstan, making it an international festival of local familiarity. But you won’t find red carpets and vast auditoriums, in their place, independent cinemas, workshops and exhibitions.
Alongside the festival, the ‘Reykjavik Talent Lab’ will also return this year, with forty young starters given the chance to meet well-established producers and, following in the footsteps of Andrea Arnold, Lone Scherfig and Mads Mikkelsen, the festival will also welcome award-winning French director Claire Denis as their honorary guest.
