Ravenheart International Film Festival (7)

영화제 시작: 11 6월 2025      영화제 끝: 15 6월 2025

Welcome to our 7th ANNUAL live edition of the Ravenheart International Film Festival (RIFF), held in the heart of Oslo, Norway!

We are Norway's only film festival focusing solely on fantastic cinema—the only film festival in Scandinavia. RIFF's growth has been exciting and mind-blowing every year.

Aiming to connect all domestic and foreign filmmakers through film's universal language.
Celebrating all cinema but particularly spotlighting fantastic genre films (Sci-Fi, Horror, Fantasy, Thriller, Dark Comedy and more.) RIFF is an event where all filmmakers, fans of the art of cinema, and creatives can come together to share their experiences and love for fantastic cinema genres.

RIFF submissions are open to all genre films. We are looking to showcase the best in genre film. The live event will include guest speakers, Q&As, booths, and networking opportunities. We also invite aspiring filmmakers and students to inspire one another and others to become better filmmakers.

Please visit our website for more information and updates as we get closer to the event. (www.ravenheartfilmfestival.com)
