Updates festival visit IFFR 2021 in June
We are preparing for a hybrid festival where physical visits in Rotterdam are possible with strict limitations. Physical programming and Covid-19 measures are always susceptible to change. Read our Covid-19 safety protocol before buying tickets and again before visiting the festival.
In order to visit the festival, you are required to present a negative coronavirus test via testenvoortoegang.nl. That would mean that all visitors need to get tested within 40 hours of the event. This is not yet certain. We are currently working on adding practical information about this on this page.
