For us this year is the opportunity to reflect, recapitulate, invent corollaries, proclaim art, conquer new paradigms, recount the successfulness; it’s time to analyze, appraise, assess, review, and finally, it’s time to look towards the elastic time that goes from the future to the past and vice versa..., time to envision new plans and broaden our perspectives.
Eureka!
RIFF-FESTIVAL continues its vital impulse and will continue spreading momentum and storms!!!

July 8th to 10th
Welcome to RIFF: R.E.D International Film Festival, dance-art-cinema.
For the seventh year in a row we are happy to celebrate dance, art, and the various possible audiovisual expressions that have a relation with movement. The festival will be celebrated from July 8th to 10th, 2022.

The official selection consists of 26* international films, including 3 Norwegian Films.
With the festival and its curatorship, as well as its different events, we would like to contribute a little to society, taking culture as a weapon. This will help us take by storm the right to enjoy life and feel hope again, for humanity and its habitat: the planet. We would like to defend the right of all human beings to experience joy, compassion, and love.
For those who will be present at the festival we offer a variety of events, with CAFÉ EXPERIANCE, a two hours journey through performance and dance, installations and art, film, music and meals, as one of our highlights. The concept is developed by Ella Fiskum and is a collaboration with our Shooting Star, Festival Artist and dance and performance artists in residence at R.E.D.

RIFF AWARDS 2020
RIFF celebrates dance- art and cinema- (hence the subtitle of the festival), so diversity is one of the most important principles for us. In this fifth edition there are powerful, visual, poetic, and provocative films, as well as realistic short films, humanist, humorous, ecological, dance-theater films, documentaries about dance and art, animations, and local culture. The jury decided to keep several films as equal winners, because they represent the variety of the festival. The link between these films is that they are related to dance and movement, even though some are more experimental and others conceptual.

We will fill the farm with national and international films from all over the world, and offer performances, concerts, exhibitions and workshops that will celebrate the art of movement —dance-art-cinema— in a vision that intends to build bridges both between the different art fields, but also between the spectator and the artists. This year’s edition also brings in an environmental perspective to the festival. We’ll launch RIFF OPEN STAGE, a new outdoor performance venue where both audience and professional performers can dance all night long-- they might be contemporary performances, Argentinian tango, outdoor mini concerts, etc... We will continue our Café ExPeriance —combining Exhibition, Performance and Ambiance— in an unforgettable evening that, in 2020, under the title of “Flora Fabula”, combines art, by our local Festival Artist Julie Narum, with surreal performances, great food, inspiring conversations and good company. A limited amount of tickets only for July 4th and 5th will be released on further notice. Stay tuned! The program will further include opening and closing ceremony, awards, midnight movie drive-in, camp, barbecue, workshops, and laboratory SØNDANZ FLAC with discussions, expert panels, documentary showings, and much much more...

OUR LABORATORY LEADED BY ALAIN EL SAKHAWI:
Learn from the excellent young dynamic progressive dancer, choreographer and filmmaker: Alain, the winner of last year RIFF JURY AWARD with his impressive film: WE NO LONGER WAIT FOR THE BARBARIANS, a very awarded film around the world.
His curiosity on different arts makes him combine his knowledge and passion. He offers this laboratory/workshop to lead young as well as experienced artists to get a perspective from the dance film genre, by challenging, supporting and focusing the idea of using movement and dance in film, combined with technical aspects and sharing his practice on filming. Here a list of purposes for this course: structured learning to focus in short and longer films, go through the story, design, direct, choreograph, architecture sight, points of view, body, and camera."
MORE INFORMATION HERE
________________________________________________________
"I have rarely seen such an excellent use of movement and camera combined with a strong narrative and cinematographic grip, and when I heard that it was only 3 artists: dancers/choreographers/filmmakers on a limited budget doing EVERYTHING, not a big production behind, which I assumed - I got very impressed. So I urge everybody to come and join this wonderful workshop, and learn from Alain!"

HERE THE ENDING OF RIFF SECOND EDITION!
AND ENDING THE YEAR! With pleasure and lots of hard work, we celebrated RIFF SECOND EDITION last summer. Thanks to all authors who trusted the festival, also thanks to our sponsors and working team and thanks to everybody who was interested and present. Between the 40 films that were screened, the jury and the audience chose some winners. ALL THE WINNERS GET THE POSSIBILITY TO HAVE A RESIDENCY AT R.E.D.: Jury Award: Listen, by Hamy Ramezan and Rungano Nyoni. We No Longer Wait for the Barbarians, by Alain El Sakhawi. En Silencio, by Dixon Quitian. Audience Award: Time Between, by Katrine Bull Evensen, Øyvind Jørgensen and Camilla Vanebo. The jury was conformed by Elisabeth Rom, Eivind Slettemeås, Ella Fiskum and Yolanda M. Guadarrama. First of all, the award was going to be divided in DANCE, ART, CINEMA, but we found so difficult to catalogue films in a framed classification, so the three films were awarded without any particular classification, here the comments of the jury: “We chose Listen because it strongly touches you, they show an accurate message of helplessness of the main character, a woman in a situation of minority and disadvantage because of her gender and original culture. We also appreciated the imaginative script that manages complexity in a simple and astonishing way.” “We chose We No Longer Wait for the Barbarians because it does a very good combination of the different elements that compose the film. Also because of the good performers, the camera and the way of cutting. It has a joyful and colorful passion. This film is a really nice art work with a surprising ending.” “We chose En Silencio because it has a good way to tell a story that shows an underlying meaning, difficult to tell, about children abuse. It brings Culture together with dance. The energy of children has a primitive feeling that shares originality, simplicity and good dynamic.” We also were so happy to welcome Francezca Penzani, who leaded the laboratory for a second year at RIFF, developing the sessions with a very professional group of participants who shared their work with us. During RIFF SECOND EDITION we settled Einawood: EINAWOOD FOUNDATION As the Hollywood sign was erected in Los Angeles in 1923, Einawood was founded as a neighborhood where motion picture industry is emerging. EINAWOOD sign was inaugurated in Eina, Norway, on July 20th, 2017. The event was leaded by Ella Fiskum, Yolanda M. Guadarrama and Madeline Wood, RIFF Team: director, curator and visual creator of the sign. It is a playful action and also it is reality, as everything happens in the motion picture world. We wish you great celebrations and a so happy closing of year. RIFF |

PRELUDE EDITION EXPERIENCE
|
After a very good experience in our PRELUDE EDITION in 2015, we are working towards RIFF FIRST EDITION, 2016. The dates are programmed for July 29th - 31st.
We are aiming to show films that enhance brightness to our main leitmotif of dance and movement, ranging from short art films, interdisciplinary dance films, to prime feature films. The program for RIFF FIRST EDITION is already being selected, although we are opened for submission to be able to find those hidden crucial films we need to select. We will publish the final program in June. Francesca Penzani will conduct a workshop on film and dance. It is designed for professionals on dance or film, music, visual arts or multidisciplinary arts. More details about the workshop will be announced by the end of May. |
