The International Film Festival Rotterdam is being held from 27 January to 7 February 2016.  It looks like The Childhood of a Leader is having a special screening on 6 February 2016, although nothing is listed on the official Festival website.  However, according to one of the sponsors, BankGiro Lottery , they are giving people the opportunity to win 1 of 5 VIP packages where they say:

“De BankGiro Lottery 5 VIP packages for two persons give away for the closing event of the festival on Saturday February 6, including after-party and overnight stay at citizenM hotel. With this special package you received as a VIP, and you can enjoy a special screening of the film “The Childhood of a Leader ‘, where the Codarts Symphony Orchestra provides live musical accompaniment.A unique opportunity!

A unique opportunity indeed.  For those who may be eligible to enter, the competition closes on 13 January 2016 with winners announced on 15 January 2016.  I’ve checked Codarts website and there is nothing listed under their events either. As usual, we will keep you posted on any further information about this screening as it emerges.

Merry Christmas indeed.  I mentioned above that The Childhood of a Leader was have a screening on 6 February 2016, what we didn’t know at the time was that it will be the closing film” of the Festival.  The website has updated with the following:

“IFFR closes its 45th edition on Saturday, 6 February with a screening of The Childhood of a Leader. It promises to be a spectacular musical finale: the film music by American singer-songwriter Scott Walker will be played live during the screening of the film in de Doelen by Codarts Symphony Orchestra, led by Mark Warman. The orchestra will also have a special line-up just for this event, featuring a number of guest musicians from England who performed on the original soundtrack. Like last year, following the screening of the film, the festival will close in style with the Closing Night by Warsteiner.

FFR festival director Bero Beyer: “The Childhood of a Leader is an ambitious feature film debut from actor Brady Corbet. Supported by a stellar cast, he has created a fascinating historical psycho-drama about a young boy, representing the whole of Europe after World War I. The film is embellished by a magnificent orchestral soundtrack from Scott Walker, who has adapted the music specially for this screening. The unique combination of a complete symphony orchestra with a poignant feature film on our European history as a closing event at IFFR is truly exceptional. We are extremely grateful and happy to be able to participate in this incredible co-creation by offering this event a large podium, and by welcoming the international cast and crew to Rotterdam.””

The event details are as follows:

Location: de Doelen, Schouwburgplein 50 Rotterdam
Date: Sat 6 Feb 2016
Time: 21:00 − 04:00 (film and party), 23:00 − 04:00 (party only)
Price: €38, with discount €32 (film and party), €15, with discount €12 (party only)

What a fabulous experience.  Lucky ducks who might be going.  I’m not sure if Rob will attend given that he will be filming Good Time, but we will keep you updated as more information comes to light.

From Indiewire:

“IFFR festival director Bero Beyer: “’The Childhood of a Leader’ is an ambitious feature film debut from actor Brady Corbet. Supported by a stellar cast, he has created a fascinating historical psychodrama about a young boy, representing the whole of Europe after World War I. The film is embellished by a magnificent orchestral soundtrack from Scott Walker, who has adapted the music specially for this screening. The unique combination of a complete symphony orchestra with a poignant feature film on our European history as a closing event at IFFR is truly exceptional. We are extremely grateful and happy to be able to participate in this incredible co-creation by offering this event a large podium, and by welcoming the international cast and crew to Rotterdam.”

Neil Wallace, program director de Doelen: “De Doelen has previously undertaken several live to screen projects with an orchestra, but this spectacular, overwhelming score for Scott Walker’s amplified symphony orchestra under Mark Warman will ensure this event is a real happening. All of my colleagues in de Doelen are looking forward immensely to this very special cooperation.””
