Closing Night: The Death of Stalin & Party

Visit the Closing Night: Film & Party 2019 here!

You just blink and – suddenly it’s all over. On Saturday 3 February, round off the 47th IFFR with us at the exclusive screening of the closing film The Death of Stalin by Armando Iannucci in the Grote Zaal in ‘de Doelen’. After the film, we’ll see out the festival in spectacular style with the Closing Party.

The Death of Stalin
When Joseph Stalin had a stroke in March 1953, the political court of the Red Tsar flew into a blind panic. The unprincipled struggle for power that ensued is sharply sketched by Armando Iannucci (I’m Alan Partridge, Veep) and a choice selection of top English-speaking actors in a pitch-black, hilarious and timeless political satire.

After the screening we’ll be raising the roof of ‘de Doelen’ with an eclectic mix of DJs, live music and acts. But don’t cry because it’s over – Sunday 4 February is completely dedicated to IFFR’s Volkskrantdag. And what’s more, IFFR remains active all year round.

PLEASE NOTE: separate tickets for the party are also available. See the Closing Party page. Here, you can also check out the line-up. Tickets for the closing film are not available separately, only in combination with the Closing Party and cost €28.
