Club IFFR

Club IFFR is the official after-hours programme of IFFR. Each night is curated as an extension of the film programme, where cinema, music and nightlife come together. The lineup bridges film screenings with live performances and DJ sets, while also giving space to Rotterdam-based collectives to host nights that reflect the spirit of both the festival and the city. And all of this for just €5!

Tickets are available online, with guaranteed entry to Club IFFR if you arrive before midnight.
Please note that if you arrive after midnight, entry to Club IFFR can no longer be guaranteed, and queues may be long.

Tickets can also be purchased at the door (also when sold out on the website) – subject to capacity.
