As before, RIFF focusses on introducing brand new films and documentaries from young and upcoming directors – this time with a particular emphasis on world peace. This year we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Reykjavík Summit. The 1986 meeting of presidents Ronald Reagan of the United States and Mikhail Gorbachev of the Soviet Union marked the first steps to end the Cold War. A special seminar on peace will be held in collaboration with a newly established Peace Centre. The program includes many films that focus on this year theme. But we also offer a variety of films that take on other subjects like the Scientology church, eating bugs, how to cope when you grow a tail, saving the forests in the most unusual ways and more and more |
