Rotterdams Open Doek x IFFR Young Selectors
Join the IFFR Young Selectors on Saturday 15 June at Rotterdams Open Doek for an evening exploring the scary and disturbing world of horror cinema! Embark on a journey to explore the genre’s artistic potential alongside filmmakers, producers and fellow audience members. The programme aims to illuminate both the challenges and opportunities for aspiring Dutch genre filmmakers, offering insights and discussions.
To kick-start this conversation, the Young Selectors have curated two Dutch films from the IFFR 2024 lineup. We begin with Binary, a body-horror film about a trans woman from Pakistan working as a dancer in the Netherlands. We then conclude with Wander to Wonder, a sinister stop-motion film exploring the anguish of abandoned TV show puppets. Both films show how the wheel can be reinvented while still playing with familiar genre tropes. In a discussion with the filmmakers and horror enthusiasts, our panel will delve into what makes these films – and the horror genre as a whole – so profound and intriguing.
The event will be in English.
