Get Ready for Your Close-Up at the Reykjavik International Film Festival Sept. 28 "“ Oct. 8, 2006.
You can have your Sundance. We're heading north. After all, how often are movie festival-goers given the chance to catch the best of recent festival films, see a myriad of amazing flicks from talented directors, meet foreign film pioneers, attend informative seminars and symposiums, enjoy Icelandic nature, experience the wildest nightlife north of Rio and then kick back in the Blue Lagoon?
During the Reykjavik International Film Festival, enjoy seminars with important local and international filmmakers. Festival day tours will expose you to surreal moonscapes, waterfalls, hot springs and glaciers. If the weather cooperates, you might even catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights.
