Rotterdam Film Fest Opens With Dutch Crime Comedy ‘Fabula’ & Plea To Save Historic Cinerama Site


The 54th edition of the International Film Festival Rotterdam kicked off with Dutch film Fabula on Thursday night at the Oude Luxor Theater, with over 800 guests present.

Dutch director Michiel ten Horn appeared onstage alongside actors Fedja van Huet and Sezgin Guleç as well as producers Sander Verdonk and Thomas den Drijver to introduce their crime comedy film. Kaludjercic’s opening night speech — made with newly-installed Rotterdam mayor Carola Schouten in attendance — requested the festival’s audience to pay attention to the ongoing petition for Cinerama to be preserved for the local community. “At the IFFR, we remain steadfast in our belief in democracy and the common good, a vision shaped not by individual gain, but by shared works and dreams,” added Kaludjercic.
