The Reykjavík International Film Festival (RIFF) is the largest film festival in the country, which will be held for the 22nd time from September 25 to October 5, 2025. Each year, RIFF screens around 80 feature films and a number of short films from around the world. Experience the magic of cinema on the big screen at RIFF. There is something for everyone at RIFF 2025: Get to know YouthRIFF where school exhibitions, family films and practical workshops are offered; Participate in Brandeddiscipline where Iceland is introduced as a film country and issues concerning the industry are discussed; and don't miss Talent Lab, where outstanding filmmakers learn from experienced filmmakers in the industry. RIFF is also known for its surprising special events, such as visual food experiences, swimming cinemas, cave cinemas and concerts, which make the festival unforgettable. Tickets for individual screenings will go on sale in September, but you can secure your passes and scrapbooks here on the website. Ahead are 11 exciting film days with new and outstanding films and unforgettable special events.
Our goals are to change film culture by showing outstanding films that would otherwise not come to the country, promote discussion and film literacy, drive social reform through the power of film, and promote Iceland as a film country.
