Countdown to IFFR: 1 more night….
One night of sleep(lessness), 3 hrs of trafficjams (or less) and 8 hrs work and then the IFFR finally starts. Today I’ve tasted the first bit from the festival, I went to pick up my crew-ID, T-shirt and received a free catalogue and the Rotterdams Kookbook (Rotterdam Cookingbook). Let’s say thanks to the sponsors. And…

Nu.nl reports that Submission I, the movie by Theo van Gogh and Ayaan Hirsi Ali, will not be screened at the IFFR.

I wonder if anyone managed to buy tickets or make reservations online…? The people I have spoken or heard from (not representative) haven’t been…

Countdown to IFFR: 6 days to go
The program for the IFFR has been released. One of the most intriguing titles I found: The Adventure of Iron Pussy. And no, it doesn’t look like it is an adult movie: ‘The protagonist is the transvestite and secret agent Iron Pussy. A kind of Bond, but then wearing a dress and a specialist in…

Countdown to IFFR 2005: 8 days to go
Seems I’ve got only morning shifts at the IFFR. ‘I love the smell of napalm in the morning’, but if I’ll have to rise and shine at 8.30u ten days in a row during my hollidays… Let’s just hope the coffee is good this year…
