With a spread of 139 features including short, mid-length and VR films, the closing section of the International Film Festival Rotterdam 2021 boasts of a cocktail of genres and films
“Are we going back to cinemas?” was the question that was there on everyone’s mind during the recent virtual press conference of the 50th edition of the International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR) 2021. Given the circumstances and regulations in the Netherlands, festival director Vanja Kaludjercic had a more rational response. “It is hard to predict, now that things are changing every day. But if cinemas are open, then IFFR will be there. Even otherwise, we have made the festival available online with a 72-hour window,” she said, while announcing the plan for the closing section of this year’s festival, slated from June 2-6 both online and physical screenings in Netherlands. The June programme will open with The World to Come, an intimate period drama about two women directed by Norwegian filmmaker and actress Mona Fastvold.More Related News
