The 22nd edition of the Reykjavík International Film Festival will take place between September 25st and October 5th, 2025.

The main purpose of RIFF, Iceland’s major annual film event, is to offer a wide selection of groundbreaking, independent cinema, and to highlight the work of young and emerging filmmakers, by presenting only first and second works in the Grand Prix competition category New Visions. The festival’s objective is to increase general interest in independent cinema, increase the level of cinematic literacy and enrich film culture in Iceland by offering different cross-platform programs.
