The International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR) will be moved online in 2022 for the second consecutive year due to growing concerns over the spread of the Omicron variant across Europe. It’…
. More details on the adapted lineup will be announced during a press conference in early January.
“In light of the current concerns and unpredictable circumstances of the global health crisis, IFFR has made the decision to host a scaled-down festival programme online,” said the festival in a statement. “The festival’s previous announcements outlined plans for an ambitious on-site programme for IFFR 2022 that is now no longer possible.”
Added the festival: “Even in the case the current restrictions are lifted after 14 January, the sheer scale of the festival is no longer compatible with a last-minute transition to an in-person event in Rotterdam.” IFFR, which is known for celebrating cinema and providing a platform for filmmakers from across the globe, said it “acknowledges that the impact of this critical decision is widely felt — most prominently affecting the filmmaking community and audiences which IFFR continually sets out to support and connect with.”
The festival’s education programmes will be adapted or postponed until later in the year to offer students access to IFFR-curated cinema.
