AFFR explores the relationship between film, cities and architecture by programming and screening architecture films and by organizing introductions and debates.
The Architecture Film Festival Rotterdam (AFFR) was established in 2000, and the foundation organized its festival the same year as the first architecture film festival in the world. Festivals also took place again in 2001 and 2003. In 2007 AFFR made a fresh start after a few years of silence. In 2009 the event expanded significantly in terms of visitor numbers and programming.
On the last day of AFFR 2020, visitors could again enjoy the Architectenweb Best of AFFR this year. We showed the most important films of the festival in 30 pax full theater rooms. In room 1 and on AFFR LIVE, many watched Jack Sim's fight in Mr. Toilet, introduced by professor Merle de Kreuk, the impressive Pahokee with introduction by journalist Eelco Bosch van Rosenthal and the contemplative Last and First Men, preceded by a lecture by architect Lada Hrsak about the brutalist Spomeniks in former Yugoslavia. In the studio of Connie Janssen Danst, the performance Babel by LOD music theater and architect Steve Salembier was premiered: an enchanting piece full of models, video images and music. We could not have wished for a better conclusion to this special edition of AFFR.
