What is RIFF?
Reykjavik
International Film Festival will be held for the sixth time from 17th
of September to 27th of September 2009. As Iceland’s highest attended
cultural event, the main purpose of the festival is to offer both
Icelandic and international filmgoers a wide selection of alternative,
independent cinema. It is well attended by a number of international
guests, including press, media and film personalities. One event that
takes place is RIFF's Transatlantic Talent Laboratory.
Prices
The
prices for Talent Laboratory are 550 Dollars for US participants and
325 Euros for participants coming from Europe. The price includes
accommodation, one meal per day and a free pass to all lectures, films
and events during the Talent Laboratory.
Unfortunately
the talent campus is on a very tight budget therefore we cannot pay for
the flight. Participants will receive discount flights if they fly from
Berlin, Copenhagen, London or Warsaw.
