IFFR 2026 dates confirmed

IFFR 2026 will take place from Thursday 29 January to Sunday 8 February 2026.

Following the success of our 54th edition, we are delighted to share the dates for IFFR 2026 which will take place from Thursday 29 January to Sunday 8 February 2026.

During the festival, Rotterdam will once again transform into a vibrant international film city: where audiences can experience groundbreaking international independent cinema and attend talks; where they can experience the Art Directions programme, in which makers who push the boundaries of cinema and visual art are given a stage; where children and students participate in educational activities; and, where film professionals and young talent meet during the IFFR Pro Days.

We are already looking forward to welcoming you to the festival. Please mark the dates in your calendar!
