The 7th annual Reykjavik International Film Festival (RIFF) will be held from September 23rd to October 3rd this year. It’s not only a regular event in Reykjavik’s cultural calendar but also one of the biggest and most popular cultural festival in Iceland. It’s an event that draws attention from media all over the world and puts its mark on the vibrant city life during those last days of September.
CenterHotels are in collaboration with RIFF where RIFF-guests get special prices for accommodation during the festival, see more here.
In only a few years, the rapidly growing attendance as well as professionals and film enthusiasts visiting Iceland especially to take part in the film festival, has made the RIFF one of the most exciting film events in Northern Europe.
RIFF is proud to announce that Cameron Bailey, director of the Toronto International Film Festival, will take place in RIFF’s festival jury for 2010. Milos is among the biggest names in the film industry and one of 4 living directors that have received the Oscar twice as best director. He’s a real legend that is respected wherever he is.
At the RIFF you will experience inspirational cinema, screenings at downtown venues, midnight movies, concerts, fabulous parties as well as having the chance at running into well known personages from the international film industry in Reykjavik’s hip bars, clubs and restaurants. You also have the chance to take trips to experience the unique landscape just outside Reykjavik. Coming to RIFF is an experience in a place like no other!
