RIFF – The Children & Youth Festival


The Children & Youth Festival is an important part of our festival. RIFF aims to promote a film culture to our youngest spectators and show films from all over the world. We do this by curating film programs for children and youngsters aged 2-16.

This year RIFF Children & Youth festival takes place from 30th September to 6th October in Nordic House. All movies for ages 2-12 years old are shown in their original version with Icelandic Live dubbing by actors Vanessa Andrea Terrazas, Nathan Jónsson and Þórunn Guðlaugsdóttir.
