The Collaborators in Rotterdam
02.02.2010
Break Even Store
Schouwburgplein 57, Rotterdam
12-9pm
Ann Course's latest film The Collaborators will be showing for one day only in a programme curated by Edwin Carels for the International Film Festival Rotterdam's Break Even Store.
The Break Even Store on the Schouwburgplein is one of a kind, and the clue is in its name. In this store it's not commerce that's the priority, but interaction, surprise and discussion. You may well find the artists themselves behind the counter selling their own art to the visitors. On the shelves you will find rare and personal items and special cinematic imports, in the broadest sense of the word. The shop opens every afternoon of the festival at 12.00 with a new video-loop, so drop by at any time. Talking Shop begins at 15.00, and here guests and visitors do most of the talking. Between 17.00 and 18.00 it's Free Trading and anyone can try to sell their cinema related goods. The owners of the mysterious suitcases will also make their appearance. The shop closes at 19.30 with Foreclosure; a free event and unclassifiable happening, which could be anything from a nearly forgotten movie, 'new folk' music, an 'old school' digital projection to a dvd presentation.
