Some IFFR Tigers (2) - a photo on Flickriver

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Schouwburgplein, Pathé multiplex (slightly cut from all sides)

The IFFR started in 1972, as Film International Rotterdam. The founding director was the late Huub Bals. The attendance to the opening film of the first festival was a bit of a disaster – it attracted only 17 viewers, and the alderman of cultural affairs of the city of Rotterdam refused to deliver his opening speech for those few lost in the cavernous Calypso theatre.

At the start of the festival, only 700 of the total 15.000 available tickets were bought. Bals had to intensify his marketing efforts. One of the things he did was distribute leaflets in the centre of Amsterdam with the text: “ Als je niet bij Film International bent geweest, moet je verder je smoel houden als er ergens over film wordt gepraat” (If you didn’t visit the Film International, you should shut up in places where film is discussed).

The subtitle of this year's festival, “Geniet van een ongekende ervaring“ (Enjoy an unprecedented experience), sounds still a bit imperative, but it’s only a vague echo of Bals’ edgy slogan.

Behind the Pathé Multiplex is the 'Calypso' residential building (William Alsop).

This is number 22 of the IFFR album.
