IFFR Filmclub x Dokhuis

Join us Friday 4 April, for the latest edition of IFFR x Dokhuis, as we show two films shot in Rotterdam, made by Rotterdam filmmakers and exploring what it means to live in our port city: Berichten uit de Hunkerbunker and Nu woon ik hier.

About Berichten uit de Hunkerbunker (Carel van Hees, 2024)

During the COVID-19 pandemic, photographer and filmmaker Carel van Hees meets the 106-year-old Gerarda van Nimwegen, his neighbour in the RVS flats in Rotterdam who has lived through many crises in her life. A loving tribute to a remarkable resident of the Hunkerbunker. 

About Nu woon ik hier (Hannah Kersten, 2025)

A filmmakers’ move to Rotterdam’s Crooswijk neighbourhood triggers reflections on gentrification and displacement.

About Film in Dokhuis

Dokhuis offers a unique space where people can come together to watch and create films. They believe cinema possesses the transformative power to help us explore not only the world around us but also the depths of our own selves. It serves as a dynamic medium for fostering meaningful dialogue and connection.

Starting in 2025, Dokhuis will host a monthly film evening on the first Friday of every month, as part of the IFFR Filmclub.

About IFFR Filmclub 

Filmclub is a new initiative of IFFR, currently in the pilot phase, where (future) film lovers, young filmmakers and creatives come together to watch films and exchange interests. The idea is that the Filmclub will take place biweekly at various locations throughout Rotterdam, where a mix of (inter)national films, both new and true classics, will be shown in a relaxed setting in combination with discussions, workshops or parties. Whether you are discovering cinema for the first time or are already well on your way as a filmmaker, the Filmclub is a place to get inspired, network or just come and watch a film. The club works together with local communities throughout Rotterdam.
