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.
Kim Schoof is working on a dissertation on contemporary autobiographical literature at the Open University. In addition to academic pieces, Schoof also regularly writes about literature and art in De Groene Amsterdammer, Hollands Maandblad and De Witte Raaf, among others, and she is an editor at the Nederlandse Boekengids. An interpretation of Annie Ernaux’s work appeared earlier this year in De Groene Amsterdammer.
