Start the engines and fasten your seatbelts – it's time for a drive-in movie!
… come by car or horse, bike or chair – and sing along and enjoy in privacy …
The popular drive-in cinema RIFF (Reykjavík International Film Festival) returns Saturday, September 21st – and as before, it is one of the largest ever held in this country, but it was last held in the fall of 2021.
Food trucks and popcorn and soda on site to make the experience even better
Full price for each car 4990 ISK, but 3990 for disabled people
Four ever-popular movies will be shown this time – and for those in cars, it's easy to connect the radio to the right channel – and then just enjoy:
15:30 – MY BROTHERS LIONHEART 106 MY
The Swedish film that was a hit in 1977, directed by Olle Hellblom, tells the story of the brothers Karl and Jonathan's confrontation with Þengil the Grim and his black-clad knights.
18:00 – WITH EVERYTHING CLEAN 99 MINUTES
The unforgettable musical film by Ágúst Guðmundsson from 1982 where members of Stuðmann and Grýlann compete in a competition between two bands that tour the country.
20:15 – GHOULDER STORY 64 MINUTES
Viðar Víkingsson's fascinating 1985 strip about a medical student who takes on night duty at a television station and spreads stories about the place's alleged hauntings.
21:30 – TILBURY 53 MIN
Another film from Viðar's 1987 collection about a country boy during the war years who looks for his love in the hands of a soldier, who is perhaps, after all, just a coincidence.
The director of these two films, Viðar Víkingsson, and their lead actor, Kristján Franklín, will attend Víðidalinn to introduce the films and put the storyline into context.
START SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21ST IN VÍÐIDAL
RIFF's drive-in cinema makes the cinema experience accessible to everyone. There will be Icelandic subtitles for each film and a specially designated seating area at the front of the screen for cinemagoers with disabilities who will receive a 20% discount.
The film festival itself will then begin at the University Cinema.
September 26th and runs until October 6th.
