Industry Days at RIFF 2023

The main objective of Industry Days is to draw attention to the achievements in Icelandic filmmaking, build bridges between countries, and share ideas and projects.

During our program, a group of film industry professionals gather to share their experiences. The event also aims to create a new space for idea development and to promote the distribution and presentation of the Icelandic film industry. This year we have a French focus in the festival that will be reflected both in our program and amazing festival- and honorary guests.

Industry Days at RIFF encourage meetings, discussions, and dialogue that support the establishment of solid ground for people’s creative ideas.

We celebrate all aspects of film production through events such as an extensive Work in Progress event where the cream of the crops of upcoming cinema from Iceland,

Faroe Islands and Greenland, will be introduced and RIFF Talks, where both young and more seasoned professionals talk about their experiences in the style of the Ted talks, as well as industry, trips, receptions and ceremonies .

The program also entails an extensive series of panels and masterclasses with a focus on the most pressing matters in the field and society at large, will bring together professionals from the film industry to exchange ideas and stimulate discussion. Our panels this year will tap on subjects such as Icelandic Film Music, Diversity and representation, animation The masterclasses will include different professionals and honorary guests.

We will also create a platform for producers to introduce themselves and have the opportunity to meet and collaborate with other producers and establish co-productions. 

All of these activities are driven by the love for films and connecting filmmakers.
