Een breed en inhoudelijk interessant programma over alle aspecten van de beeld- en mediaindustrie. Dat is hoe we het Internationaal Beeldfestival Rotterdam (IBFR) graag omschrijven. Op 30 en 31 oktober is de eerste editie, in het Rotterdamse Lloydkwartier.

'A wide-ranging and substantive festival covering all aspects of the world of image and media'. This is how we like to describe the International Festival of the Image Rotterdam (IBFR). The festival will be launched on 30 & 31 October in the Lloyd District in Rotterdam.

The IBFR embraces both a broad focus and a broad definition of the notion of the image - essential when presenting a cross-section of the image culture and related industries. With this in mind the IFBR offers an edgy mix not only of disciplines but also of creators, conceptualisers, inspirers and consumers from the worlds of both traditional and digital media. The substantive programme of seminars, presentations and installations make the festival a must for originators, commissioners, students and all those interested in the phenomenon of the image.
Unique
The festival is unique: there is no other festival in the Netherlands or elsewhere devoted to such diverse aspects of the world of the image and their interrelationships. The wide-ranging and substantive programme has been achieved in close concert with municipal agencies and creative groups. The Rotterdam-based 'Institute of Form & Image' is the organisational force behind the festival. Our ambition is to make the IBFR a major and ever-expanding annual event. lees minder
