Mijke de Jong\u2019s latest feature to premiere in cinemas during the festival\u2019s 51st edition, alongside the online programme<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR) announces the world premiere of Mijke de Jong\u2019s Along the Way in cinemas in Rotterdam, Groningen and Amsterdam during the festival\u2019s closing weekend. IFFR opens today, Wednesday 26 January 2022, with the world premiere of Please Baby Please by Amanda Kramer.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 51st edition programme was\u00a0moved online<\/a>\u00a0in response to lockdown measures introduced in December in the Netherlands. Although the Dutch government announced re-opening of cinemas from Wednesday 26 January,\u00a0IFFR 2022\u2019s programme<\/a>\u00a0will remain exclusively online on IFFR.com from 26 January to 6 February. The screenings of\u00a0Along the Way<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in cinemas add an onsite element to IFFR during the festival\u2019s closing weekend.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Festival director Vanja Kaludjercic: \u201cWe announced\u00a0Along the Way\u00a0as our opening film on 15 December, but had to make the difficult decision to move IFFR 2022 online in response to the uncertainty and concerns regarding Covid-19. It is sadly impossible for us to shift back to a physical event on such short notice. However, now that cinemas are allowed to open again, we are committed to supporting Mijke de Jong\u2019s poignant and timely film by presenting the world premiere on the big screen as part of the IFFR 2022 programme.\u201d\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
