Rotterdam is truly a world city. The impressive skyline can be seen from afar, enhancing the city’s imposing appearance characterised by such landmarks as the Euromast observation tower and the swan-like curve of the Erasmus Bridge. Rotterdam is known in the Netherlands and abroad as a city of great architecture, featuring many examples of innovative construction. Rotterdam is in the south of the Randstad. Having a population of 7.1 million, the Randstad is the sixthlargest metropolitan area in Europe (after Moscow, London, the Ruhr Area, Istanbul, and Paris). The southern part of the Randstad (i.e. the part located in the Province of South Holland) is called the “South Wing” (Zuidvleugel). Including Leiden, The Hague, Zoetermeer, Delft, Vlaardingen, Schiedam, Capelle aan den IJssel, Spijkenisse and Dordrecht, the Zuidvleugel has a population of around 3 million.

ROTTERDAM CITY Rotterdam is the second-largest city in the Netherlands and one of the largest ports in the world. Starting as a dam constructed in 1270 on the Rotte River, Rotterdam has grown into a major international commercial centre. Its strategic location at the Rhine-Meuse-Scheldt delta on the North Sea and at the heart of a massive rail, road, air and inland waterway distribution system extending throughout Europe is the reason that Rotterdam is often called the “Gateway to Europe”. In the province of South Holland, Rotterdam is in the west of Netherlands and the south of the Randstad. The population of the city was 616,250 on February 1, 2012. The population of the greater Rotterdam area, called “Rotterdam-Rijnmond” or just “Rijnmond”, is approximately 1.3 million. One of Europe’s most vibrant, multicultural cities, Rotterdam is known for its university (Erasmus), cutting-edge architecture, lively cultural life, striking riverside setting and maritime heritage. It is also known for the Rotterdam Blitz. The largest port in Europe and one of the busiest ports in the world, the port of Rotterdam was the world’s busiest port from 1962 to 2004, when it was surpassed by Shanghai. Rotterdam’s commercial and strategic importance is based on its location near the mouth of the Nieuwe Maas (New Meuse), a channel in the delta formed by the Rhine and Meuse on the North Sea. These rivers lead directly into the centre of Europe, including the industrial Ruhr region. Settlement at the lower end of the fen stream Rotte (or Rotta, as it was then known, from rot, ‘muddy’ and a, ‘water’, thus ‘muddy water’) dates from at least 900 CE. Around 1150, large floods in the area ended development, leading to the construction of protective dikes and dams, including Schielands Hoge Zeedijk (‘Schieland’s High Sea Dike’) along the northern banks of the presentday Nieuwe Maas. A dam on the Rotte or ‘Rotterdam’ was built in the 1260s and was located at the present-day Hoogstraat (‘High Street’).

ROTTERDAM & THE WATERSCAPE Rotterdam is a port city and continues to be one of the world’s most important ports, thanks to the Maas River and the Nieuwe Waterweg with its direct connection to the sea. Water also plays an important role in the city centre. The Waterfront district is known for its many inner-city harbours, including Haringvliet, Wijnhaven and Leuvehaven. With its historic cranes, the Maritime Museum and Havenmuseum, the Leuvehaven is industrial heritage that testifies to the city’s maritime origins. The Waterfront district includes the Oude Haven, the best place in Rotterdam to sit at a sidewalk café for a drink or meal and enjoy an excellent view of the many historic ships. Besides its cafés and restaurants, the Oude Haven also offers two highlights of Rotterdam architecture: the Witte Huis and the Cube Houses. The ten-story structure of the Witte Huis (White House) designed by Molenbroek was once the first skyscraper in Europe. The remarkable, tilted cube houses by architect Piet Blom are one of Rotterdam’s most eye-catching landmarks. People do live in these unusual houses, but show homes are also open to visitors. Boompjeskade is a waterfront boulevard that has followed the course of the Maas since 1615. The name refers to the luxurious greenery and the double row of linden trees that originally graced the riverbanks. The Boompjes offer a view of the Noordereiland, an island which is linked to the rest of Rotterdam by the Willemsbrug and Koninginnebrug bridges. The Noordereiland has been a protected cityscape since 2005, thanks to what many Rotterdam residents consider the city’s most beautiful structure: The Hef. This old train bridge is the last remnant of where trains once left the centre of Rotterdam.

Nieuwe Luxor Theatre Bolles + Wilson 1996-2001 Posthumalaan 1 The 1500 seat auditorium is located across the Erasmus bridge in the heart of the relatively newly developed neighbourhood of Kop van Zuid. What used to be an abandoned area of old docks is now reconnected with the centre of the city. The history of the area and the position of thesite next to the water had a strong influence in the design of the building. The auditorium space is surrounded by a network of foyers of different sizes that encourange the audience to wonder around and meet others during the intervals; an intimate and festive atmosphere. A dominating feature of the building is the service ramp. It wraps around the back of it allowing for three 18 metres long trucks to park right outside the stage.The typography of the letters on the billborad is a reference to Oud’s Cafe de Unie.
Maastheater Bierman Henket Architecten Pier conversion to late-night theatre 1994-1997 Boompjes 750 Dating from the 1920’s, the pier was abandoned after the air raids of WW2. The existing brick substructure was carefully exploited to result a solution based on light weight materials. A restaurant is located on the quay level whereas the theatre with a dance floof sits below at water level. The space between the arches of the pier has been given a glass infill and the entire structure is embraced by a silver roof.

Shouwburgplein - Megabioscoop - City Theatre A.H.Geuze (West 8) - K.J. van Velsen - W.G. Quist 1990-1997 / 1992-1996 / 1982-1988 Shouwburgplein, 1 The’theatre square’. Raised just 35cm, what has been created is an urban ‘stage’ for social interaction and events. Divided into three functional zones, each with its own type of paving depending on the activity that is hosted. Part of the square are the City Theatre and the Megabioscoop (multiplex). The multiplex is also raised making the square part of its foyer; an effect that is intending to lessen the great mass of the building. The transparent corrugated sheet that wraps the building transforms it to a lighter structure during night. The Thalia Cinema (now The Thalia Lounge) J.P.L. Hendriks, W. van der Sluys, L.A. van der Bosch 1953-1955 Kruiskade 31 This is the third cinema the owner opened in the mid 50’s since the previous two were destroyed in an air raid in WW2. When cinemas were moved in the multiplex on Schouwburgplein, the building seemed destined for demolition. Since 2002 it re-opened as a dance club and multi-purpose venue. Cafe de Unie (reconstruction) J.J.P. Oud 1924-25 C.J.M. Weeber 1986 (facade reconstruction) Mauritsweg 34-35 An excelent example of the De Stijl movement. Another victim of the May the 14th, 1940 air raid. Reconstructed on a different site in the mid-80’s. The lettering and the illuminated signs are part of the architectural synthesis in the geometry of the facade.

Netherlands Architecture Institute by J.M.J.Coenen 1988-1993 Museumpark 25 The building consists of three distinct volumes, one for every function of the institute: archives, exhibitions and staff. Each volume has its own architectural character and relationship with the surroundings. The archives block is an elongated volume that follows the curvature of the road. It stands on concrete piers that form a colonade on which a light show is projected after sunset. A brick cladded square block houses the exhibition space and a glass box contains the offices and a library that is connected with the study areas of the archive block by a footbridge. The entrance lobby used to be accessed from the side of the Museum Park. Kunsthal by OMA 1988-1992 Westzeedijk 341 The Kunsthal is not a museum with a permanent collection, but a building for temporary exhibitions in the fields of fine and applied arts. The building itself is actually all traffic space, a system of spiral ramps around a pedestrian route. The outdoor pedestrian route, which also has performed as a ramp, divides the building into two parts. This ramp bridges the difference in height of five meters between the park and Westzeedijk and contains the entrance halfway. The travertine, tarred and concrete walls are used in varying combinations with large glass surfaces. Each facade is an autonomous unit. The facade of the Westzeedijk works as a showcase. The White Villas - Museumpark by Woonhuis/ Private house Sonneveld 1929-1933 Brinkman & Van der Vlugt Woonhuis/ Private house Boeve 1931-1933 Brinkman & Van der Vlugt Chabotmuseum (originally a private house) 1938-1939 G.W.Baas & L. Stokla A cluster of villas all completed in the 1930’s, fine examples of modernist architecture. A light steel structure was the solution for all of these houses due to the soil conditions of the area.

Museum Park OMA (Rem Koolhaas, Yves Brunier) 1985-1993, 2011 Paul de Ruiter 2005-2010 The Museumpark is divided into four zones: a paved zone, a romantic zone with trees and a pedestrian bridge, an asphalted city zone for events, and a well-tended orchard. The car park designed by Paul de Ruiter uses split levels and lots of glass for a light, spacious and transparent look. The water reservoir prevents flooding in the city centre during heavy rainfall
Boijmans van Beuningen Museum Extension P. Robbrecht & H.Daem 1997-2003 Museumpark 18-20 The demolition of a villa enabled the Boijmans van Beuningen Museum to expand with a new U-shaped wing, enfolding Bodon’s gallery. The big windows and green transparent panels of the new addition contrast with the brickwork of the original buildings. Furthermore, this transparency allows the visitor to keep contact with the outside world without distructing the experience with the art.

CINEMAS Cinemas in Rotterdam In Rotterdam’s cinemas you can enjoy all kinds of movies from Hollywood blockbusters to Asian art movies. The good thing about watching movies in the Netherlands is that they are all shown in their original language with Dutch subtitles. There are 4 cinemas in Rotterdam, all with multiple screens. In the centre you can go to Pathe Schouwburgplein and Cinerama and in the south of Rotterdam you can visit Pathé De Kuip or LantarenVenster. The cinemas in Rotterdam are unique The cinemas in Rotterdam are not conventional cinemas, because they’ve got some special attributes: Cinema Pathé Schouwburgplein in Rotterdam centre has got the largest screen of the Netherlands. Cinema Pathé De Kuip in Rotterdam is the largest cinema in the Netherlands. Cinerama shows similar movies, but is smaller. Cinerama shows lesser-known cultural cinema movies as well. The same goes for LantarenVenster where you mainly find cultural films and films for children. 1. Pathé Schouwburgplein Pathé Schouwburgplein is a seven-screen cinema in the middle of city centre. You just can’t miss the huge cubeshaped building at the Schouwburgplein. The location of the cinema is great because the cinema is close to all the shops, restaurants, bars and clubs in city centre. Biggest screen in the Netherlands: Within the cinema there are seven screens ranging from 200 to 760 seats. The main screen is the biggest cinema screen in the Netherlands. 2. Pathé De Kuip Pathé De Kuip is a fourteen-screen cinema in the south of Rotterdam and one of the biggest and best visited cinemas of the Netherlands. The cinema is very popular because of its location that allows easy access by public transport and car. Just outside the cinema there are a number of restaurants and bars where you can have a drink or something to eat before or after the movie. Fourteen screens: Within the cinema there are fourteen screens varying from small screens with 120 seats to big screens with more than 400 seats. The big advantage of the large number of screens is that almost every ten minutes there’s another movie starting

3. Cinerama Cinerama is a lovely old cinema in the centre of Rotterdam with 7 screens and over 1000 seats. The name Cinerama comes from the time when the cinema showed Cinerama movies to the public. The oldest cinema of Rotterdam was opened in 1957 and is located close to the shops, bars and restaurants in city centre. In some restaurants you get a discount when you show your Cinerama ticket. Diverse programme: Most of the screens in the cinema have got about 120 seats and the biggest screen has got almost 300 seats. The programme of Cinerama is very diverse: you can see the latest Hollywood releases but also non-commercial art movies and documentaries.

LantarenVenster LantarenVenster is a small art cinema and theatre in the south of Rotterdam close to Hotel New York and the NewLuxor Theatre. There are five small intimate screens in the theatre.

There are experimental movies, movies with new talents or amateurs and movies with big names and all of them are very special.

These movies for families are shown on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons, but during school holidays LantarenVenster shows them every day. Every Monday evening you can enjoy a sneak preview in LantarenVenster and see a movie that hasn’t been broadly released yet.

42nd edition of the International Film Festival Rotterdam 23 January until 3 February 2013 http://www.filmfestivalrotterdam.com/en The program will be announced Thursday January 17 2013 on this website. International Film Festival Rotterdam is a platform for independent, artistic films and for new, up-and-coming talent from around the world. During the twelve-day festival, films are screened which would never get a chance otherwise and filmmakers and visitors can discuss film, be inspired by current themes and jointly celebrate the festival. The first festival — then called ‘Film International’ — was organized in June 1972 under the leadership of Huub Bals. The IFFR’s logo is a tiger, loosely based on the M.G.M. lion. From the beginning, the festival has profiled itself as a promoter of alternative, innovative and non-commercial films, with an emphasis on the Far East and developing countries. Around 1983, the festival founded CineMart to serve as a “regular film market,” and later modified the business model to serve instead as a “co-production market”,which helps a selected number of film producers connect with possible co-producers and funders for their film projects. After the festival founder’s sudden death in 1988, a fund was initiated and named after him (Hubert Bals Fund), used for supporting filmmakers from developing countries. The non-competitive character of the festival changed in 1995, when the VPRO Tiger Awards were introduced—three yearly prizes for young filmmakers making their first or second film. The next year, Simon Field, formerly Cinema Director at the London Institute of Contemporary Arts, became director of the festival. In 2004 Sandra den Hamer took over as director of the festival, and since September 2007, the leadership is in the hands of Rutger Wolfson. Despite financial difficulties in the mid-1980s, the festival has grown steadily, reaching 353,000 visitors in 2010. Online booking: The full IFFR programme for 2013 will be published on this website on the morning of Thursday 17 January 2013. Online ticket sales start at 20:00 on the evening of Friday 18 January. Rates: In 2013, the price of a standard ticket will amount to €11,00.
