Riff Dates (from 24-September-2026 to 04 october 2026)

SPECIAL NEEDS SCREENINGS

RIFF will host special needs screenings during the weekends, with softer sound, slightly raised lights, increased wheelchair access, and the freedom to move around, make noise, or take breaks. Two films with wide appeal will be screened during weekends in Háskólabíó Screening Room 3.

Salam Cinema (1995)

(IR)

13:15 | 28.09 | Háskólabíó Hall 3

75min

Director: Mohsen Makhmalbaf

A casting call turns into a frenzy—5,000 Iranians chasing their dream. What begins as an audition becomes something else entirely: part performance, part provocation, and a love letter to cinema’s power to expose, unite, and undo.

Magic Farm (2025)

(US, AR)

13:00 | 5.10 | Háskólabíó Hall 3

93min

Director: Amalia Ulman

Amalia Ulman applies a daring off-kilter sensibility and scathing wit to her hilarious second feature film, starring Chloë Sevigny. A satirical farce where an edgy media company’s Argentina-bound film crew results in them arriving in the wrong country in search of a story. What follows is a comedy of errors, mishaps, and unexpected connections.
