50th specials
To celebrate our 50th anniversary edition, numerous 50th Specials spanned the two festival chapters.
February's Tiger on the Loose project engaged Rotterdam audiences with an interactive augmented reality experience, while audience members and Tiger Competition winners recounted festival experiences in IFFR Plays Back ◀◀.
The festival launched IFFR Unleashed 50/50, a special collection made up of 50 memorable films and classics, each selected from one of the 50 previous editions of IFFR. As an anniversary special, IFFR Classics presented four past festival favourites. In collaboration with Eye Filmmuseum, celebrating their 75th anniversary, Vive le cinéma! presented an exhibition on art and film, featuring iconic filmmakers including Lemonhang Jeremiah Mosese and Jia Zhang-Ke.
