The Riga International Film Festival (RIGA IFF) is set to return in October 2026, according to the festival's official website. The event will span 11 days, showcasing a diverse program that includes cult films, selections from the Cannes and Berlin film festivals, and premieres of several Latvian works.
Among the Latvian premieres are Laila Pakalniņa's "I'm Thinking of the Cat" (original title: "Es domāju par kaķi") and Reinis Kalviņš's "In the Open Beyond..." (original title: "Atklātajā aiz..."). These films are part of a broader effort to highlight local cinema alongside international offerings.
The festival, which has been held annually since 2014, typically takes place in various venues across Riga. The exact dates for the 2026 edition have not been specified beyond October, but the program is expected to include a mix of feature films, documentaries, and short films.
For more details, including the full lineup and ticket information, the festival's website and social media channels will provide updates as the event approaches.
