IFFR Films

Rotterdam Film Festival (IFFR)

See below for these summaries which now enable me to say what and on what day I saw a movie at the IFFR! This festival offers a platform for mainly new directors from all over the world that later became more famous. Think about film makers like Aki Kaurismäki, Todd Solondz, Miike Takashi and Alejandro Agresti, It became a kind of tradition and every year I made a short summary of the films I saw and later copied it from the festival site with here and there a personal twist.
