ABOUT

The 16th edition will be a major success!!!

The fact that you are visiting this website says it all: you are a true film fan who won't settle for a sequel of a remake of a film from 1953.

So welcome to Deventer: Hollywood on the IJssel river!!!

During the best film festival in Europe you will enjoy over 60 hours of the fact that:

- You have seen the hottest films of 2008, including Slumdog Millionaire, the hit from India, which won no less than 8 Oscars,
- You were invited to the fabulous opening party with the theme: who is Deventer's Real Hero?
- Your "hyves / myspace / personal networking site" got expanded with all the right friends from Holland and abroad,
- You were discovered as the hero in your own movie, produced during one of the masterclasses on a boat on the IJssel river,
- Your world is no longer the same after this weekend, now that you know everyone can be his / her own hero in their own universe,
- You will have had an encounter with the director of Stella's War!

So you need a pretty good excuse not to be in Deventer on 27, 28 and 29 March 2009, and we know why!

Welcome to Deventer, welcome to our 16th international film festival, welcome to filmhuis De Keizer, the Leeuwenbrug, the Merral cinema, the Burgerweeshuis, the theaterschip and welcome to the many host families in the form of the families of the pupils at the Etty Hillesum Lyceum!

Have Fun!
