39th International Film Festival Rotterdam

During the festival period only, IFFR opens the concept store Break Even within festival centre ‘de Doelen’. A pocket version of a film festival, Break Even comments on economic challenges of the new online film distribution formats. In this virtual realm, shared experience is mostly imaginary and non-physical. Break Even acts as meeting place, live performance location and sells a specialist and mostly unique range of films and related cinematic items.

Futurity is a concept that examines what the 'future' as a conditional and creative enterprise can be. At its heart lays the intricate need to counter political and economic turmoil with visionary futures. With FUTURITY NOW! transmediale.10 explores what roles internet evolution, global network practice, open source methodologies, sustainable design and mobile technology play in forming new cultural, ideological and political templates. transmediale.10 invites artists, scientists, media activists, thinkers and visionaries to ask not what the future has in store for us, but what do we have in store for the future?
