IFFR KINO

International Film Festival Rotterdam was born in the old LantarenVenster cinema on Gouvernestraat back in 1972. Four decades on and – partly at the same location – IFFR is still proving it is so much more than an annual film festival. With a screening and side programme every first Wednesday of the month at KINO, from October 2023 to January 2024. First up is the RTM night: A night of resurfacing hope, on Wednesday 4 October at 21.00.
