For the second time Reykjavík Queer Film Festival proudly joins forces with RIFF – Reykjavík International Film Festival. Originally, the event was organized independently, but now, by being part of the largest and most prestigious film festival in Iceland, we hope to reach out to an even larger audience.

Coming up weekend is full of fun things to do for everyone such as GUYS only party, GIRLS NIGHT OUT and BEARS ON ICE event. Saturday night GUYS are having fun at club Batteríið (Hafnarstræti 1-3, city center) while the girls will throw a party at club Barbara (Laugavegur 22).   

BEARS ON ICE takes place September 10-13. It’s the event’s five year anniversary and as before bears and friends will take over Reykjavik’s gay scene and have some fun in the world’s northernmost capital. It is not the biggest bear event out there but since it was first held BEARS ON ICE has made a name for itself: fun and friendly.

Once again Gay Pride weekend is coming to an end. After four days of fun some of us will probably need the coming up week to recover. Sleeping is simply not an option when Reykjavik Gay Pride is full on. Every seat was taken at the University Theater at the Opening Ceremony were handful of artist performed.

Next week (August 5th-9th) is full of adventures and long hours of fun. Gay Pride weekend kicks off with an early start Wednesday August 5th with Reykjavik's most entertaining competition, the Icelandic Drag Contest which takes place at the Icelandic Opera.
