Content Guidance
At International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR), we celebrate the power of cinema to inspire, challenge and provoke thought. We recognise, however, that certain themes, scenes or references in our films may affect viewers differently. To help you make informed choices about your festival experience, we’ve this year added Content Guidelines for films that feature content that may be sensitive or triggering for some people.
To avoid spoilers, these guidelines are optional to view at your own discretion. We understand that sensitivities can vary widely and are in many cases subjective, and although we strive to highlight the most common triggers, the below overview won’t encompass all.
Should you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out to tiger@IFFR.com or for an overview of organisations available for support, please visit IFFR.com/aftercare.
