The eighth Riga International Film Festival (RIGA IFF) will take place on 14-24 October this year. The festival invites audiences and filmmakers to a carefully curated selection of exceptional and current films, and continues to enhance the northern European cultural space by developing an internationally recognised cinema event in Latvia.
This year’s festival slogan is “There is always time”.
As usual, the festival’s programme will include an impressive selection from the biggest international festivals, including director Dominik Graf’s Berlinale darling Fabian oder Der Gang vor die Hunde (Fabian – Going to the Dogs) and Természetes fény (Natural Light), which won Best Director at Berlinale and was co-produced by the Latvian company Mistrus Media.
RIGA IFF receives support from the State Culture Capital Foundation, the National Film Centre and Riga City Council.
