Now in its third edition, the Young Nordic Voices Think Tank is RIFF's annual participatory forum for emerging Nordic and Icelandic film creatives between the ages of 18 and 30. It is not a panel or a lecture \u2014 it is a working session designed to give young voices space to speak candidly about the realities of early-career filmmaking, with industry mentors responding in genuine dialogue.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

RIFF is deeply committed to creating space for emerging voices. We believe that the future of Nordic cinema depends on hearing from those who are living it now.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
