Cultural film event in Iceland showcases independent cinema

The Reykjavik International Film Festival (RIFF) in Iceland last year was a smash-hit, with sold out passes achieving the highest recorded ticket-sales and acclaimed raving reviews. One of the festivals all-over highlights was the visiting honorary guest Milos Forman, a two time Academy Award winning director.

This year’s Reykjavik International Film Festival will be taking place between September 23rd and October 3rd. The festival is in its 7th consecutive year of showcasing independent films in the heart of Iceland’s capital city, Reykjavik and in a short period of time has become one of Iceland's most popular cultural events, offering both Icelandic and international film enthusiasts a wide selection of alternative and independent cinema.
