The International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR) has successfully concluded its 54th edition, reporting a 12% increase in attendance, with total visitation surpassing 296,000.

This year’s festival showcased an impressive selection of 482 films from 94 countries, including 201 world premieres, as well as Art Directions and curated creative conversations across the Talks programme.

The festival’s Audience Award was presented to I’m Still Here, Walter Salles’s Academy Award-nominated film. The moving and true story of one Brazilian family’s struggle against a military regime resonated deeply with viewers.

“It is incredibly heartening to close out an edition which has grown both in scope and ambition, but also in the attendance and support from our audiences. IFFR is a vital space to celebrate the expansive possibilities of cinema and share stories which deserve to be discovered – from emerging talent spotlight through Tiger Competition and Bright Future, to first of their kind programmes like our focus on pioneering documentarian Katja Raganelli. We are proud of the collective effort behind this edition and the groundswell of support from audiences who turned out for unexpected immersive works, insightful conversations, celebrations of culture like our VHS focus strand, and everything in between.”  said IFFR Festival Director Vanja Kaludjercic.

IFFR Pro also delivered a dynamic programme, expanding the selection across both Darkroom and CineMart. The event welcomed over 2,200 industry professionals and more than 250 international press members. This year also marked the 25th edition of the Rotterdam Lab, bringing together 70 of the industry’s next top international producers.
