Cheers! Drinks, awards and networking for filmmakers, industry and press
Once the sun sets on another busy day in Rotterdam (admittedly quite early in January and February), get together with accredited filmmakers, professionals, press and CineMart delegates at one of our many social and networking events organised especially for you.
Except for Club IFFR, these events are exclusively for accredited industry and press badge-holders.

Following the screening in the TR Grote Zaal, Golden Globe–nominated composer and DJ Kangding Ray transforms the space with a Sirāt-rave, powered by Cinéart. The night continues with a high-energy DJ set by film collective Vanessa, curated by RTM Curators, featuring DJs Jewel, David Spanish and Helmond Lang.
