Today, RIFF was awarded the highest grant from the Children's Culture Fund this year, a total of 7 million ISK! The grants for many exciting projects were announced at a ceremony in Harpa, attended by, among others, the Prime Minister and the Minister of Education and Culture. We are over the moon with the award, but the grant will be used to hold the Girls Film! course in many rural areas where girls and teenage girls are taught the basics of filmmaking. We believe that courses like this are very empowering and could even change the lives of children. We are looking forward to it and thank you very much.

It was a joyous occasion today when RIFF received a grant from Barnamenningarsjóður - an Icelandic children's fund to organize the course Girls Film! in the countryside.
Girls Film! is an educational program where girls and transgender youth are introduced to the basics of filmmaking. The project will travel around Iceland to give many more teenagers the opportunity to take part in this empowering and important project.
