DESCRIPTION OF

THE INITIATIVE & PURPOSE

RIFF Industry Days is the title of a series of events and talks held during the Reykjavík International Film Festival together with the 2nd edition of the Icelandic Market Forum.

RIFF Industry days are designed as a tool to create new spaces for the exchange of ideas and to serve as an open gate for the circulation and promotion of the Icelandic and international film industry, with an emphasis on the Nordic region.

The prime objective of RIFF Industry Days is to encourage international meetings, generate debates and establish dialogues, providing the support that makes original ideas last. We also hope to facilitate better mutual knowledge and understanding between important players in the Nordic & International audiovisual markets. The main Industry events will be held at the Nordic House, recorded and online live-streamed.

The Nordic House in Reykjavík is a cultural institution that opened in 1968 and is operated by the Nordic Council of Ministers. Its goal is to foster and support cultural connections between Iceland and the other Nordic countries and to promote cultural events.
