It is both an honour and a genuine pleasure for the Reykjav\u00edk International Film Festival to announce the distinguished guests attending RIFF Industry Days 2026, all of whom are among the most influential figures in the world of cinema today.<\/p>

Among this year\u2019s participants is Erik Hemmendorff<\/strong> of Plattform Produktion<\/strong> , who has produced most of the films by award-winning director Ruben \u00d6stlund, among others. We are also delighted to welcome Susan Wendt<\/strong>, CEO of TrustNordisk<\/strong> , one of the largest sales and distribution companies in the Nordic region. Finally, RIFF looks forward to welcoming R\u00e9mi Burah<\/strong>, Deputy General Director and Board Member at ARTE <\/strong>, one of Europe\u2019s most respected and influential cultural television networks. R\u00e9mi has been involved in the production of around 300 films.<\/p>

These industry experts offer a unique opportunity to connect directly with people who are true driving forces in the world of cinema. This is particularly important at a time when professionals in Iceland\u2019s film industry have repeatedly described the current situation as a \u201cstate of emergency in the film sector\u201d and a \u201cfreeze in the industry.\u201d We encourage anyone interested to secure their place at RIFF Industry Days.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
