The official selection of dance, art and more traditional films has been done, including 39 main films from 19 different countries (3 from Norway). Shooting Stars: Yikai Wu and Alain El Sakhawi. Our selection on the farm (R.E.D. at Eina) is filled with different screenings rooms: R.E.D. ARENA: There will be 2 programs for films to be seen as a cinema screening, with characters and images that go from experimental to ecology, moral diatribes, history, migration, difficult situations and intimate matters. Two Iranian films will be in a special program. Also there’s a taste of documentary on dance around the world, for those dance lovers. Café Theatre: offers a program with strong visual contents and expressive screendance in a selection from Spain, Korea, UK, Greece and the USA. Bar: A combination of films danced by common people, urban movies, and a humoristic example on how we are trapped and hypnotized by mobile phones or tablets. Gallery Rooms: They offer shorter more experimental art films, in addition to animations. R.E.D. Room: A special “very red strawberry” film contrasting old and new bodies in beautiful and respectful images. Potato Room: A film dedicated to create conscience on the plastic we use in the world. It will exhibit a plastic trash installation. Aside, we will have concerts, panelists, awards and live performances. Also there’s a DRIVE IN MOVIE THEATRE with films screened every day in EINAWOOD at 22:00. Come with your car, enjoy films, food and celebrations. This program will offer Hollywood films and other surprises for seekers of film experiences in family, drama, musical, romantic and action films.

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."

________________________________________________________
"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. |
