RTM consists of films and projects from a broad range of makers who have a major connection to the city of Rotterdam. These makers are an eclectic mix of young/emerging talent and more experienced professionals, and established names of Rotterdam-linked filmmakers/artists who also work internationally. This block of five short films interrogates and investigates the boundaries of the medium of film in different ways, as well as focusing on art in film, both in terms of subject matter and form.
Please note: English subtitles are available only for Hier. and If Paradise Is Half As Nice. Taro and Hyena are English-language films.
