fotomuseum x santos

Wednesday 11 February 2026 - Rotterdam

The Nederlands Fotomuseum reopend on 7 February 2026 in the Santos warehouse, a national monument located in the vibrant Katendrecht district of Rotterdam.

Built in 1901-1902, the Santos warehouse began life as a warehouse for coffee shipped from the Brazilian port city of Santos.

Fantastic exhibitions spread over six floors, a rooftop restaurant with panoramic views of the Rotterdam skyline. The "crown" of two additional floors with a semi-transparent facade had not yet opened.

We were before opening time and it was drizzling non-stop, so we had a hot drink and Turkish apple pie at the nearby Fenix Museum.

a girl, a summer girl!

Wonderful news that a baby girl will be joining our family this summer.

Super happy with the arrival of our second grandchild!

IFFR - first of february - filmfestival

Sunday 1 February 2026 - Rotterdam

IFFR Lantaren Venster - 11.45 - 13.30

Shot in real locations of Isla Maciel, a notorious neighbourhood outside Buenos Aires, Gatillero is a gritty, nerve-wracking crime thriller that unfolds in real time over the course of one fateful night. Presented as a single, unbroken shot, Cris Tapia Marchiori’s second feature tracks its desperate protagonist as he navigates dense residential blocks, claustrophobic interiors and deserted nighttime streets of a town forsaken by police and politicians alike.

Q&A and... meet and greet with Cris Tapia Marchiori (Argentina) screenwriter and director.

About the IFFR 2026 campaign: Intertwined with the city
The tiger is back for the 55th edition of the festival, inextricably linked to Rotterdam. The new campaign combines iconic Rotterdam imagery with tigers embroidered in a vibrant mix of threads, materials, and patterns.
