Rotterdam 2026 Wrap: All Our Coverage
Every year, those of us confined to our homes throughout the world gaze with wonder (and no small amount of jealousy) upon the lineup at the International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR, though our headlines refer to it as Rotterdam 2026.)
The festival has announced their Tiger and Big Screen award winners, as well as their own wrap report on the in-person festivities.
This year, two of our writers attended the festival in-person and shared their discoveries: my fellow editor Ard Vijn and contributing writer Ronald Glasbergen. Now that the on-line portion of the program has concluded, here is all our coverage, as of February 23, 2026. We will update as additional coverage arrives.
