International Film Festival Rotterdam, which runs Jan. 30 – Feb. 9, has revealed the lineup of its Focus section.
The Focus program will present her portraits of leading figures ranging from modern masters like Agnès Varda, Márta Mészáros and Valie Export to early pioneers such as Alice Guy-Blaché and Lotte Reiniger, alongside complementary titles from those filmmakers themselves. The program includes screenings of a diverse offer like the Indian documentary “Videokaaran” (2011) and David Cronenberg’s latest, “The Shrouds” (2024), as well as interactive projects inviting Rotterdam citizens to share their personal home video stories. “From celebrating the contributions of underappreciated filmmakers to revisiting historical and cultural legacies with current resonance, the festival continues to create a space to collectively enjoy the power of cinema.”
