This year we are proud to launch the Young Voices Nordic Think Tank. We will invite young individuals from the Nordic countries, as well as the Faroe Islands and Greenland, ages 18-25, to participate in a dynamic one-day seminar moderated by industry experts. This seminar is designed to reimagine and reshape our film industry.
Our goal is to create a safe and significant space where the voices of young people—the future leaders of the film industry—are heard, respected, and acted upon. Participants will engage in meaningful discussions and share their creative insights, aiming to transform the cinematic landscape to better meet their needs and aspirations. This platform will nurture fresh perspectives and innovative ideas, essential for the evolution of the industry.
This initiative, made possible through the Nordic Culture Point Volt Programme, reflects RIFF’s sustainability policy. We aim to empower youth by amplifying their voices and encouraging their active participation in the democratic process. Our vision is to inspire and influence the cinematic landscape through the creativity and input of young people. We believe that by giving them a say in the film industry, we will foster a more sustainable and relatable future for cinema, one that resonates with and is shaped by the next generation.
