WHERE ARE THE TICKETS? This year RIGA IFF will welcome cinephiles both in person and online.

For the first time in the festival’s history, we will be coming to homes all throughout Latvia!

Just be attentive and plan ahead – the online movie screenings have specific start and end times, as well as a limited number of viewers.

Tickets can be purchased on the festival’s website RIGAIFF.LV and at Biļešu Serviss ticket offices.

You must also get a ticket for the free screenings!

If things aren’t going right or you have any questions, please contact support@rigaiff.lv for help.
