Clare Stewart, managing director of International Film Festival Rotterdam, and festival director Vanja Kaludjercic discuss their first joint edition.
This year, the strand features recent Oscar nominees in Jonathan Glazer’s “The Zone of Interest” and Kaouther Ben Hania’s “Four Daughters,” plus new films by Bertrand Bonello (“The Beast”), Alice Rohrwacher (“La Chimera”) and Agnieszka Holland (“Green Border”). Speaking to Variety two years ago, Kaludjercic quipped that the Rotterdam version of a phenomenon like Timothée Chalamet would be Japanese director Yuasa Masaaki. “I love the idea that Debbie Harry and Marco Bellocchio might be the new Zendaya and Timothée Chalamet [laughs],” added Stewart, before going on to expand on what a successful first edition of IFFR in post would look like.
