I had no idea what to expect of todays films. It was my day off and I just picked them because they were playing in Pathe 1, my home base for this festival.

It’s been great, no, not just great, it’s been terrific! Although I would have liked to cover every single day the day after, the Film Festival is taking about 16 hours of my day.

The opening night at IFFR and here are the result: Juno A great story, loaded with humor and a classic ending. I can understand why it is nominated for an Oscar! It fits perfectly in the Rotterdam setting. A must see IMO. Appleseed: Ex Machina It’s not my first manga, but I’m not that big a lover of these Japanese anime flicks. It was the opening IFFR Volunteers Movie (private...
