For those longing for a day at the cinema in Rotterdam, there is the Volkskrantdag in KINO on Sunday 6 June 2021.
IFFR will offer a programme featuring three films on a single day, depending on the Covid-19 measures in force at the time, of course. In contrast to what you may be accustomed to, all three films (which will be announced in advance) will be screened in the same cinema (you stay in the same room all day). What is the same as ever: three fabulous films from IFFR’s festival selection chosen for you by the Volkskrant’s editors.

What’s on the programme?
Quo vadis, Aida? by Jasmila Žbanić, 101 min.
UN interpreter Aida is caught between factions in this moving drama about the Srebrenica genocide in 1995. Director Jasmila Žbanić’s detailed shots of the conflict meticulously dissect what went wrong in the communication between the Dutch UN soldiers, the Bosnian Muslim population and the advancing Serbian army.
El perro que no calla by Ana Katz, 73 min.
Thirty-something Sebastián hops listlessly from job to job in this tragicomic story, each scene of which is a jump forward in time. Lead actor Daniel Katz beautifully portrays his character’s unease in this black-and-white film that strikes a pleasing balance between empathetic drama and the slightly absurd.
A Song for You by Dukar Tserang, 93 min.
Young Ngawang has a dream. He wants to record an album. But how does a Tibetan nomad manage to do that in a big city? Everything changes when he meets a woman who looks just like his talisman. A light-hearted road movie with a fascinating lead.
Please note: because we had to reduce the room capacity, a number of people buy tickets for the Volkskrantdag in LantarenVenster instead of KINO.
