Fyrsta umferðin af RIFF Talks fór fram á Norræna húsinu föstudaginn 4. október. Skoða má upptöku frá þessum viðburði hér.
RIFF Talks snýst um stutt erindi frá frá fólki sem hefur náð árangri í kvikmyndagerð og er tilbúið að deila því með öðrum hvað þarf til þess. RIFF Talks er í anda TED Talks, en einangrað við kvikmyndagerð. Hvert spjall er flutt af sérfræðingum sem eru með yfirsýn yfir málefnið, puttann á púlsinum og átta sig á nýjustu straumum og stefnum í kvikmyndagerð samtímans. Fyrirlestrunum er ætlað að fræða og örva skapandi fólk til athafna og aðgerða, hvetja ráðandi fólk til að hugsa og vonandi virka þeir sem innblástur fyrir fólk í bransanum.
