TikTok Content Creator

International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR) presents a leading film festival and year-round programme. We support new and adventurous filmmaking talent, also beyond the screening room, through initiatives such as Cine Mart, the Hubert Bals Fund, Rotterdam Lab and other industry activities.

In January each year, we bring together emerging and established filmmakers and artists from around the world to showcase a visionary programme of independent films, talks, exhibitions, performances, installations, immersive media and more. IFFR attracts over 300,000 visits to screenings and events annually. We also organise a range of film‑related activities throughout the year, with our Filmclub and other collaborations with Rotterdam‑based partners.
