Training for Young Film Critics at International Film Festival Rotterdam

International Film Festival Rotterdam is looking for participants for the 18th IFFR Trainee Project for Young Film Critics, taking place during its 45th edition from 27 January – 7 February 2016. Young and upcoming film critics from outside the Netherlands get less opportunities to explore and sharpen their knowledge and views on independent and experimental cinema.

International Film Festival Rotterdam recognizes the important role of film criticism and supports journalistic talent with a trainee project for the next wave of film journalists: the IFFR Trainee Project Young Critics.

What to expect:

Complimentary IFFR 2016 press accreditation;
A full schedule. IFFR wants its trainee film critics to really participate in the festival and interact with other industry professionals. The trainees will form a team, hosted by the IFFR Press Office and the festival editorial staff. You get to explore all aspects of IFFR (screenings, exhibitions, Q&A sessions, and debates) as part of the program and to cover for your own media;
If your participation is successful and you have published reports that meet IFFR standards (in both quality and quantity) you get the opportunity to visit the next edition of the festival as an accredited journalist.

Deadline Application: 06-11-2015
