The official launch of IFFR 2025 is here! The 54th edition of IFFR begins with the crime comedy Fabula, the festival’s opening film. Michiel ten Horn’s Fabula effortlessly blends crime, fantasy, folklore, and magical realism in a tale following a strung-out criminal from a family that for generations has been haunted by disaster. Determined to find out what caused it, our protagonist meets a series of colourful characters who slowly bring him closer to the explanation he’s been searching for.
Twelve years after his debut film De ontmaagding van Eva van End (IFFR 2013), Michiel ten Horn returns to IFFR on Thursday 30 January.
This year, general audiences are warmly invited to join the Opening Night Party in ‘de Doelen’, following the opening film. The evening promises to be vibrant, with live DJ acts and plenty of excitement to kick off the festival in style.
Please note that there are two types of tickets on sale for the Opening Night:
Tickets for the opening film & party in ‘de Doelen’ can be purchased below
Tickets for the opening film (without the party) can be purchased here.
