Four Weeks
The Grapevine picks the events, places and things to check out in the next four weeks.
October 7 - October 9
RIFF Finale
The final days of the Reykjavík International
Film Festival are upon us. We’ve been served
some tasty slices of cinema since September
29, but some of the best bites remain: check
out the Icelandic film ‘InnSæi’ on Friday,
or Deepa Mehta’s ‘Anatomy of Violence’ on
Sunday.
Bíó Paradís, Tjarnarbíó. Háskólabíó. Admission: Varies.
October 9
Lighting the Imagine Peace Tower
On John Lennon’s 76th birthday, Yoko Ono
will light the Imagine Peace Tower in
memory of her late husband. The monument
is a bright beam of light shining into the sky,
situated on the island of Viðey. As its creator
explains, the light is a path through which
wishes for world peace can be lifted up into
the universe. Boats will shuttle people to the
island from 17:00, and the ceremony starts at
20:00.
Viðey at 20:00. Admission: Free!
November 3-7
Design and Craft Fair
If you’re looking to engage with some culture
during your Airwaves trip but trying to save
your beer money, the Design and Craft Fair
might be for you. Over the course of this
five-day festival, more than 50 Icelandic
designers and craftsmen will display their
wares, ranging from ceramics to fish skins,
offering a glimpse into their design process
and into Icelandic craft culture.
Reykjavík City Hall. Admission: Free!

Q4U, 'Qþrjú'
Húrra at 20:00 | Admission: 2,000 ISK
Three and a half decades ago, Q4U un-
leashed their first and only album on
Reykjavík. Inspired by the British punk
scene of the time, but determined to sing
only in Icelandic (lead singer Elinborg
Halldorsdóttir insisted on speaking out
on local political issues in Icelandic only),
the group earned their place on the synth-
punk podium. Then, thirty-odd years
passed. Now, Q4U release their ten-song
second album, ‘Qþrjú’, celebrating with a
release party at Húrra.
‘KOK’ Listening Party
Stofan at 20:00 | Admission: Free!
Fancy going to a dreamy doom-pop listen-
ing party? Stofan has you covered. For the
first time, AVóKA’s debut release 'Kok' will
be played for everyone. It promises to be a
melancholic and hopeful concoction, with
free beverages for early birds. There’s no
better way to start your week! Except, idk,
a lottery win or something.
