Great weekend of films from around the world from some of the best film makers the industry has to offer. This weekend, take part in Q & A’s with film makers, mingle at parties and watch some future classic cinema.

‘In its 5 year existence, IAFF has always stood for innovation. That’s why IAFF is not only short for International Amsterdam Film Festival but also for International Amsterdam Future Formats. It is a platform, a crossroad where an urban-oriented audience, artists, DJ’s and VJ’s, the creative industry and policy makers can meet each other, where the cutting edge productions in the field of visual culture are presented and even produced, where entertainment, engagement and education are inseparable elements. Just as previous years IAFF will have four categories for films (features, documentaries, shorts/music videos and “next gen” commercials) as well as the MAFIA (media, art, film, innovation) exhibition.

IAFF comes out of the Resfest tradition and has built a dense network with other festivals and organizations. IAFF is a platform where high-budget films and established artists are presented shoulder-to-shoulder with cutting edge independent productions. Nowadays artists take advantage of new tools and technologies, such as web 2.0, Open-source software, streaming video, new generation mobile phones, gaming, etc. There is a growing audience which demands more than a specialized, genre- or target based festival experience.’

Check out the program but keep a special look out for this gem of a film from the US of A – ‘Skatopia: 88 Acres of Anarchy’
