The 5th Reykjavik Independent Film Festival is a regional, internationally themed film event dedicated to exploring cross-cultural understanding through the art of the cinema.
Its mission is to enhance cultural diversity by bringing European independent productions, horizon-expanding international films and high-quality studio films to audiences before their commercial release.
Reykjavik Independent Film Festival is especially concerned with providing film-goers the opportunity to see works that would otherwise never screen in Reykjavik.
