IFFR at Plein
Fenix joins forces with IFFR, the International Film Festival Rotterdam.
From film screenings and activities to a kids’ corner and Filmclub events, there is plenty to experience at Plein from 6 to 8 February.
IFFR has long been a global reference point for film lovers. The festival supports independent filmmakers and presents cinema in all its forms. For Rotterdam, it is a fixed highlight of the year. From February 6 to 8, Plein is dedicated to IFFR.
Throughout the weekend, Plein transforms into a walk-in cinema, screening short film programs in an informal setup. The program regularly explores themes of migration and is supported by partners such as the Displacement Film Fund, Buddy Film Foundation, and COC Rotterdam. Films by local makers (RTM) are also shown, alongside collaborations with local organisations including Skateland, Dokhuis, and mint2.
Each day, alongside film screenings and Q&As, there are creative activities such as embroidering the iconic IFFR tiger or the workshop Drawing the Tiger, where participants can experiment with painting and mixed-media techniques.
