On Thursday 29 January 2026, the 55th edition of International Film Festival Rotterdam kicks off. We start with a special screening, before the opening film! This screening features the Malaysian feel-good film Badak, which is exclusively accessible for Tiger Members and Pioneers. Before the screening, a special guest will give an introduction to the film and share highlights from IFFR 2026.
After the screening, we invite you to join us for a complimentary drink at the festival hub to discuss the film, share experiences, and connect with fellow Tiger Members and Pioneers.
Badak
Aspiring hip-hop artist Mirah is an instant success at her first live performance. But her passion draws her away from her Deaf father, who needs her help to run their burger stall. Speech and sign language find their inner music in this feel-good family drama by M. Raihan Halim (La Luna, closing film IFFR 2024).
Date: Thursday 29 January 2026
Location: Screening at Pathé 3, drink at ‘de Doelen’
