RIFF 2011 in the foreign press

Reykjavik International Film Festival drew record numbers this year and members of the foreign press are not excluded. Pieces, interviews and articles are popping up daily now that RIFF 2011 has run its course. Universally, the words about RIFF are very kind, even coming from some of the world’s biggest media. The New York Times describes the festival as “an impressively large and international event”:

while The Guardian describes RIFF as “for 10 days a year, some of the world's most exciting, innovative and revered film-makers descended on your small, provincial town for an enormous party.”
