The online video library is intended for those visiting the festival onsite – access to online screenings is geoblocked to Rotterdam.

We recently changed our online account environment. For security reasons, the password of your existing IFFR account was not migrated to the new system, meaning you have to update your password in order to access your account and to register for your accreditation. We cannot complete this set-up on your behalf. If you continue to encounter difficulties, please contact [email protected].
