It's The Reykjavík Shorts&Docs 11th year running, and they’re getting pretty good at
it. Planted right in downtown, the festival mixes the glamour of an international film
festival with the intimacy of, well, downtown Reykjavík. Bump elbows with the film-
makers and then offer them a drink. Watch your favourite bands star in a hot music
doc and then hear them play live at the bar down the road. If you know what you
like, check out some of the bigger flicks at Bíó Paradís. If you’re feeling more exper-
imental try one of the two off-venues, Kex Hostel or Slipp Bió, which will be screen-
ing the flicks for free all week. Mix it up, hit them all. “Music, sex, animations, or
wild nature” says the festival’s director Heather Millard, “there really is something
for everyone.” For full schedule and prices check out the website:
