Closing Night 2016: The Childhood of a Leader & Closing Party by Warsteiner

The end might seem quite far away still, but IFFR 2016 will end at some point. No worries, because in true IFFR tradition, we save the most spectacular for last: the 45th edition will close with an exclusive screening of The Childhood of a Leader starring Robert Pattinson, and will be accompanied by a live film score by the Codarts Symphony Orchestra. Afterwards, you can give it your all during the Closing Party by Warsteiner.

Please note: you can also order separate party tickets. Go to the page of the Closing Party by Warsteiner.

The Childhood of a Leader
In The Childhood of a Leader, an American family relocate to the French countryside at the end of World War I, where the father is involved in drawing up the Treaty of Versailles. His wife, a pious Christian, is struggling with the eruptions of rage from their rebellious young son, whose deliberate outbursts are starting to hint at a monster in the making. The cast of this debut film by actor Brady Corbet features Robert Pattinson (Maps to the Stars), Stacy Martin (Nymphomaniac), Bérénice Bejo (The Artist) and Liam Cunningham (Game of Thrones).

Codarts Symphony Orchestra
The film music by American composer-producer Scott Walker will be played live during the screening of the film in de Doelen by Codarts Symphony Orchestra, led by Mark Warman. The orchestra will also have a special line-up just for this event, featuring a number of guest musicians from England who performed on the original soundtrack. Like last year, following the screening of the film, the festival will close in style with the Closing Night by Warsteiner.

IFFR festival director Bero Beyer: “The Childhood of a Leader is an ambitious debut feature by actor Brady Corbet. Supported by a stellar cast, he has created a fascinating historical psycho drama about a young boy, representing the whole of Europe after World War I. The film is embellished by a magnificent orchestral soundtrack from Scott Walker, who has adapted the music especially for this screening. The unique combination of a complete symphony orchestra with a poignant feature film on our European history as a closing event at IFFR is truly exceptional. We are extremely grateful and happy to be able to participate in this incredible co-creation by offering this event a large podium, and by welcoming the international cast and crew to Rotterdam.”
