The fifth edition of RIFE was held in Smolyan, Bulgaria, from July 10 to 13, 2025.
The theme of the 5th edition, “Food”, was explored from different angles and perspectives, from the conditions needed for its cultivation to the ways in which it is consumed. In addition to this focus, viewers could enjoy a variety of films of different lengths and themes: short, medium-length and feature-length films, organized into several programs. We had selected some of the best premieres of the year. Our program also included exciting events such as virtual reality experiences and live performances.


All screenings were free.
