Bíó Paradís Announces the 2025 Reykjavík International Children's Film Festival
Independent art-house cinema Bíó Paradís has announced the return of the Reykjavík International Children's Film Festival. Scheduled to take place from October 25 to November 2, the upcoming edition centers on the theme of girls in leading roles, highlighting character-driven storytelling for younger audiences.
What to Expect at the Reykjavík Family Film Event
The annual festival serves as a fixture for children and teenagers in the capital, operating under the patronage of Vigdís Finnbogadóttir. Its primary mission is to introduce families to carefully selected international children's and youth films that typically do not receive theatrical distribution in Iceland.
Beyond screening rare international titles, the event aims to foster media literacy among young audiences and expand the variety of cinematic offerings available locally. In addition to screenings at Bíó Paradís, the festival collaborates with the "List fyrir alla" initiative to reach schools across regional Iceland. Further details and updates can be found on the official festival page.
