Just one month left until RIFF 2025!
Dear RIFFer,
The countdown is on - only one month left until RIFF 2025 and we are more than excited to once again transform Reykjavik into a meeting point for filmmakers, cinephiles and people from all around the world.
This year’s festival is already shaping up to be extraordinary. Our 2025 visual identity, crafted by Krot & Krass, sets the tone for an edition full of creativity and discovery.
We are honored to welcome acclaimed guests like the ones we already announced: Anton Corbijn, who will present two films alongside a masterclass, as well as Mohsen Makhmalbaf, our head of the New Visions Jury and Director Marziyeh Meshkiny, whose groundbreaking debut feature film will be screened as a part of the festival.
Alongside the Masterpieces of our Honorary Guests, the program features a wide range of different films and is now taking its final shape. With the RIFF 2025 Essential 10 films and the SMART7 category, we’ve already announced a glimpse of this year's diverse and inspiring program that is awaiting you this year.
Beyond the screenings, RIFF 2025 offers unique experiences that bring cinema closer to people of all ages. From Special Events like our Culinary Screenings where we combine the art of cinema with the pleasure of food, to UngRIFF workshops designed to inspire the next generation of filmmakers and cinephiles and a lot more to come.
