Roffa Mon Amour is an annual open-air film festival in summer in August in Rotterdam. Throughout the year we organize various Film Events at different locations in Rotterdam and a small festival in The Hague.

With our film activities we want to touch our audience and stimulate their film taste. We bring people and cinema together. At magical locations where no films are being offered, Roffa Mon Amour connects people to discover cinema (like rooftops, floating buildings, or art gardens).

Since 2013 the summer film festival has been a must-visit on the cultural agenda in Rotterdam. The festival presents a unique selection of films that are diverse in country of origin, genre, language, culture, and theme. Besides the twelve-day festival, Roffa Mon Amour organizes special film events throughout the year at special locations, in collaboration with partners, festivals, and other cities where we offer educational programs and merchandise.

Skate Short Contest Winners

On Saturday, July 22nd we screened Zombie: The Resurrection of Tim Zom (2014) at Skateland. It was also a great occasion to celebrate new film talents with the skate short contest we organized. Thank you to everyone who submit their short they were all amazing!

However, the skate short by Aileen Ye, I Didn’t dare to Speak (2021), exceeded our expectations with its beautiful shots and touching story. If you’re curious to know more about it, have a look at it:

 

We also added a new prize for another exceptional skate film short by Megan Tatem. Starting in 2020, Vogue Nights: The Aftermath is a (mini) episodic skate series that examines the overlap of two disparate New York City subcultures: skateboarding and voguing. Here’s a sneak peek at one of the episodes screened:

 

Roffa Mon Amour and OPEN Rotterdam explore the memorial past

Roffa Mon Amour, OASE, Keti Koti, and SurinameOso presented an evening in the context of our slavery past. This evening is dedicated to knowing your family history, not only your own but also others. 

Before Buladó (2020) screening, a walk through historic Delfshaven. The Tour took us to past Colonial Monuments in the Netherlands from the perspective of Surinamese History, Heroes, and Experiences. Led by a guide of Surinamese descent, we heard and discovered more about the past and present of Suriname and the shared Colonial past with the Netherlands. 

We are overjoyed that our program has reached many people and caught the interest of OPEN Rotterdam which documented this special moment: click here to read the article!

Call for volunteers

Save the dates!

The dates of the 11th edition of Roffa Mon Amour Festival have been set: from August 16 until August 27 we will screen a film every night for twelve days. Like last summer, the festival will take place at Brutus: a sculpture garden with larger-than-life artworks by Joep van Lieshout; formerly known as AVL Mundo. As an integral part of the festival, we hereby invite you to join our crew! 

We have five roles opening up this year:

  • We are looking for volunteers for the information desk + popcorn. This means that you are responsible for preparing and selling popcorn. You also help visitors that have any questions. 
  • We are also looking for volunteers for the bar. Together with our dear partner Kaapse Brouwers you will be responsible for making and selling drinks together with the bar manager. Previous service experience is a pro but not required. 
  • The next role is scanning tickets at the entrance.
  • Additionally, handing out the headphones and collecting them when the film is done is another specific role. 
  • Finally, we are looking forward to assembling our first A-team! This role is a little different as you’ll be active before and after the festival dates, namely: August 14, 15 and 28. In this role, you will truly get to experience the behind the scenes of our film festival. Together with our production you will assist in building up the festival and contribute to its final look, feel and vibe. 

As usual you can do many different roles during the festival, and you can of course watch one or several movies in return for volunteering shift(s). We will also make sure there are snacks and drinks for you during and after your shift.

If you are interested please save the dates and let me know which day(s) and roles you want to volunteer in by sending an email to crew@roffamonamour.com. I will schedule you for your preferred days and positions and send you a confirmation. If you want to volunteer with friends, invite them and let me know.

Het festival presenteert een rijk buffet aan filmsmaken die op dat moment nergens anders op het witte doek te zien zijn en divers zijn in land van herkomst, genre, taal, cultuur en onderwerp.

Naast het twaalfdaagse festival is Roffa Mon Amour het jaar door actief met speciale evenementen op locatie, samenwerkingen met horeca, festivals en andere steden, merchandise en een stimuleringsprogramma voor jongeren in samenwerking met diverse Rotterdamse opleidingen.

Keeping up with the New Jury

Do you remember the New Jury? 5 brilliant youngsters who decided which film should have won the first New Amour Award. After a crazy 2-day during film marathon in the cinema of  Worm and passionate film debates at the Roffa Mon Amour Head Quarters, they declared Merawi Gerima as the New Amour Award winner.

The last time we saw them was more than half a year ago, chattering in the sculpture garden of AVL Mundo. But how are they doing now? What has changed in these past months? We asked them to keep us up with their life adventures.

Vera Erykalova

What are you doing now? What has changed in your life since the last time we met?
To be honest, not much has changed, still living my lovely cinematography studies life in Brussels. I did go to New York for the first time last month to visit my friends, one of which is jury member Ari! It was a great experience, truly a very film-able city.

What’s a memory related to the New Jury experience that will stay with you?
The experience that will stay with me is probably the 2 days we spend in WORM watching films. That’s my favorite thing to do, and I found it very comfortable and fun: watching films, talking about them with people who also enjoy watching films 🙂

Can you tell us a film you’ve watched recently and you loved?
Recently I watched Lake Forest Park at IDFA. I loved the idea of the filmmaker: she recreated her memories. So it wasn’t a documentary in the traditional sense, because the whole film was scripted, but the film was based on her memories and it was shot also in the same places where she experienced these memories. Also aesthetically very pleasing!

Arend Verbrugh

What are you doing now? What has changed in your life since the last time we met?
I am still studying at WDKA, and I wouldn’t say that much has changed, but I have been making more art since the festival. It fueled me with inspiration and interest in film.

What’s a memory related to the New Jury experience that will stay with you?
A memory from the New Jury Experience that stayed with me was doing the Q&A with Merawi Gerima. It was really nice to see a film, think about it for a while, and then to be able to ask the questions you have about the process to the director. Also it helped that Merawi was a humble and nice guy :).

Can you tell us a film you’ve watched recently and you loved?
A film I recently watched and loved was; “Short Cuts” by Robert Altman. A long but eventful film that connects strangers with each other and shows mundane but critical slices of people’s lives. For me it defines the power of film.

Zeddrich Starke

What are you doing now?
I’m currently finishing my bachelor’s degree. I only need to pass 3 courses and then I’m finally done! Also I’m working on my IT company Nomad Coding and clothing brand Day ‘n Nite. With Nomad Coding I’m doing freelance coding work and I’m helping companies with their digital transition. I help them design an infrastructure such that they can use their data to enhance decision making. Besides my coding work I also love to be creative and that’s where I’m focussing on with Day ‘n Nite. Together with my companion I’m building a clothing brand that gives creatives a platform through which they can flourish and connect with each other. My companion and I believe that empathy is the missing link in social interactions, therefore we collaborate with other creatives to spread knowledge about empathy through art and fashion.

What has changed in your life since the last time we met?
The last time we met was during the summer of 2021. During that time you blessed me with a workshop given by Romy and since that time I’m working together with her on the Pulse. The pulse is something very dear to me because it thought my how to better listen to my intuition. This in turn gave me the freedom to really express myself through movement. So in short, my perspective on life changed since the last time we met.

What’s a memory related to the New Jury experience that will stay with you?
I have multiple memories of kind of the same situation that will stay with me for a long time. The conversations I had with the other jury members. At first I didn’t know much about film and how to assess a movie, however through conversations, I learned that there is much more than just the storyline. There is the way they filmed, the colours used and so much more. So after last year’s edition, I started to look at film from a different perspective and I keep learning new things from interviews from filmmakers. I also bought my own camera to play around with the concepts that I find. Can you tell us a film you’ve watched recently and you loved? The last film that I watched was Interstellar. It is an amazing film that does a great job at explaining complex physics in a human-friendly way. I would really recommend watching if you like physics or sci-fi.

Ari Duong Nguyen

What are you doing now? What has changed in your life since the last time we met?
I’m living in New York now for my Master degree in Media Studies 🙂 RMA and the experience I had with The New Jury really made me realize how much I love writing about films and how much I want to delve further into it in the form of analysis/critique, so that’s what I’m focusing on now. Probably the biggest change for me, naturally, is moving away – being a part of the New Jury was one of the last things I did in Rotterdam and it made me regret so much not having been able to stick around longer for later editions of RMA, as well as the friends I’ve met from the experience!

What’s a memory related to the New Jury experience that will stay with you?
One memory that stuck out for me was definitely the two-day film marathon. I remember coming back home the first day and just felt so unreal; it was the opposite of exhausting, I felt like mentally I could hang around for a few more films to go. And meeting the other Jury members (in full formation) was wonderful – such lovely people, all passionate about cinema in their own ways.

Can you tell us a film you’ve watched recently and you loved?
A film that I have watched lately is Je, Tu, Il, Elle by Chantal Akerman. I actually watched that immediately after watching another Chantal Akerman film for class. It was extremely patient with how vulnerable the main character was. Also, amidst trying to settle into a new city and a new life pace, I really appreciated such slow cinema that took its time to unfold its story and character. I felt as lonely and confused as the character, but I also saw her as a wise companion throughout the film.

Ezra Vogt

What are you doing now?
I’m busy with studying and trying to live up to my single NY resolution which is to travel as much as possible in 2022!

What’s a memory related to the New Jury experience that will stay with you?
It was such a special experience. I just love cinema so actually being allowed on a panel and express my view on films was humbling and enriching. I especially loved the interview we did with Merawi Gerima (Residue)

What has changed since the last time we met?
nothing much. Some days slightly lost, other days on a mission!

What’s a memory related to the New Jury experience that will stay with you?
Interviewing Merawi Gerima and watching the movies in the cinema-like surroundings at performance bar (or klauw, not sure what that location is called)

Can you tell us a film you’ve watched recently and you loved?
Sous le sable (François Ozon)

projects 2021


We’re thankful for the various cinematic projects we worked on in 2021 during summer and autumn after a long, dreadful lockdown.

June

In June we hosted a short film program with Galerie de Jaloezie during Architecture Month Rotterdam. We presented Tripsitter (2020) by Frederique Pisuisse and You Can’t Automate Me (2021) by Katarina Jazbec. Two rising cinematic talents based in The Netherlands.

July

In July we set up three sun bed cinema nights under the stars at hotspot Maaskantine Rotterdam. We screened Poetic Justice (1993) John Singleton, Spring Breakers (2012) Harmony Korine and Clueluess (1995) Amy Heckerling. That was fun!

We curated the film-edits for 5 The Pulse events at Garage Rotterdam, a new movement initiative.

August

In August we had the annual film festival at AVL Mundo in Rotterdam. It was all we dreamed of.

After we jumped on plane to Croatia for open air screenings during electronic music festival Dekmantel Selectors.

September

In September we collaborated with local chef Soma and prepared an Asian inspired noodle meal and screened our favorite Wong Kar Wai film Fallen Angels (1995). The sky coloured pink and so did our feelings.

October

In October we presented the Cinema Concerts again with Alberta Balsam and DJ Overdose during Amsterdam Dance Events at the Melkweg.

The New Jury
For the first time this year, a youth jury decided who the winning filmmaker should be. A team of 5 talented film lovers (Ari, Arendt, Ezra, Zedd and Vera) watched the films from the New Makers Competition prior to the festival, and decided that Merawi Gerima of Residue should go home with the New Amour Award – a cash prize of 1,000 euros and the New Amour Award designed by sculpture artist Laura Schurink.

Jury Statement
“Residue follows Jay, a filmmaker who returns to his home neighborhood in Washington DC after many years away to write a script about where he grew up, only to find that gentrification has swept his beloved Q-street beyond recognition. Residue’s camera holds a kind of intimacy that compels attention and empathy from the viewers. The different styles of camerawork are stitched together elegantly through the collage-like editing; the audience is invited to experience different terrains of recollection. Remembrance, as shown in Residue, are fragmented attempts at replicating a desired vision of the past while navigating through inevitable interruptions from a changing present. Equally fragmented is the portrayal of characters within Jay’s world, as each participant in his memory takes a distinct stance on his return and wish to make the film, and each also handled the gentrification of their neighborhood with varying degrees of resistance.”

Design Award: Laura Schurink
