The EyeslicerThe Eyeslicer

The Eyeslicer is a nineties hangout with prominent tv screen that shows a movie marathon with the works of a new generation of alternative American moviemakers.

The Eyeslicer gives context to a dream-influenced memory of the 1990's, as the basement you used to hang out in with friends after school. In this hangout you can watch all of The Eyeslicer episodes on a screen, play nostalgic board games or just hang out. A graffiti work by Rotterdam collective Lastplak was created specially for this space and vintage pinball machines can be found here and in the lobby. On January 25th 15:00 -16:00 The Eyeslicer will be officialy opened as part of the IFFR festival.

On the 1st of February 20:00 - 0:00 the IFFR organizes a House Party in Maximum Overdrive in the Foyer of Het Nieuwe Instituut.

The International Film Festival Rotterdam represents the strength and impact of independent film, filmmakers and film-related art. IFFR stimulates, coaches, finances, distributes and supports filmmakers through the Hubert Bals Fund (HBF), the annual co-production market (CineMart) and the many forms of training provided to filmmakers through the RotterdamLab. By organising an annual festival and other events throughout the year, the IFFR creates a platform for makers to present their works to broad, diverse audiences. The programming tackles issues and tensions of contemporary social relevance.

Bi-weekly presentations in the foyer, spotlighting a controversial new design, sensational research, work by an emerging talent or a new acquisition for the State Archive for Dutch Architecture and Urban Planning.
