Grapevine Events: Cinema Extravaganza!

RIFF Swim In Cinema – The Truman Show
September 30th at 19:30 – Sundhöllin – 3,400 ISK

Reykjavík International Film Festival is back, baby! This much-loved gathering of film enthusiasts is just what we needed to usher in autumn. RIFF’s ever-popular swim-in cinema is a gift that keeps on giving, this year with a screening of ‘The Truman Show.’ This psychological comedy may hit a little too close to home, but the hot pot setting should take your mind off of it! Maybe this will teach us all to go with the flow. EL
