The International Film Festival
Rotterdam has invited applications for
the 15th IFFR Trainee Project for Young Film Critics during its 42nd edition of
International Film
Festival Rotterdam (January 23 - February 3, 2013). The IFFR supports
film making, film producing and journalistic talent on several levels: the main
festival section 'Bright Future' (including the Tiger Awards competitions for
feature length and short films) presents recent works by first and second time
filmmakers; Rotterdam's Hubert Bals Fund contributes to film projects in
developing countries and CineMart organizes a talent development project for
young film producers (Rotterdam Lab) in close collaboration with its partner
organizations.
Recognizing the important role of film
criticism to the perception of independent cinema, the Rotterdam film festival
organizes a trainee project for young film critics in a talent development
program that offers up to six young (under 30 years), motivated and talented
professional film critics from outside The Netherlands .They will get a chance

of the festival; publishing a blog on the IFFR website and writing up to three
