Riga IFF offers film festival experience at home

Maintaining its tradition from previous years, the Riga International Film Festival (RIGA IFF, 17–27 October) will offer the public its celebration of cinema not only in person, at cinemas Splendid Palace and Forum Cinemas, but also online throughout Latvia.

During the festival, the online platform online.rigaiff.lv will host more than 20 screenings, among them finds from the biggest film festivals, moving dramas, suspenseful psychological thrillers, as well as carefully selected films for children and families, and a flamboyant selection of short films.

Among the film adventures online will be the films of such industry-acclaimed directors as the French master of absurd, Quentin Dupieux, Swedish directors Levan Akin and Lukas Moodysson, and the latest from other authors, as well as debuts of the big screen – the supercharged drama Armand, awarded as the best debut at Cannes, the mix of European mythology and modern day, Milk Teeth, the sensual drama in the mood of Greek Weird Wave, Swimming Home, and others.

The intent behind the online platform online.rigaiff.lv is to make film adventures accessible to any spectator throughout Latvia, including those who cannot attend in-person screenings at Riga cinemas Splendid Palace and Forum Cinemas due to location, mobility issues, or other reasons. The films can be started at any time from the indicated start time (the start of the first in-person screening of the film) until the festival close, 27 October at 23:59.

Tickets to online screenings are available on the festival’s website (rigaiff.lv). One online screening ticket costs 6 EUR, KIDS’ REEL screenings are 5 EUR. More information about online screenings can be found on the festival’s website at online.rigaiff.lv.
