IFFR – Call – CineMart Project Entry

The 39th CineMart edition will be held during IFFR Pro Days at IFFR 2022 which will take place between 26 January and 2 February. Exact dates will follow shortly. 

Editorial line

CineMart is known for its highly curated editorial line of distinct projects in story and form. We present projects by independent directors and producers and mostly arthouse work, ensuring there is a wide variety by presenting smaller, more vulnerable work alongside films by established teams with higher budgets. The CineMart selection reflects the overall editorial line of the programme of International Film Festival Rotterdam.

Selection process

The selection process for CineMart has two phases. Please note that all information provided should be in English, including subtitles.
