FILM FESTIVAL ROTTERDAM
Thursday, January 26, 2012This weekend, we’ll leave Amsterdam for another big city: Rotterdam. Until the 5th of February, the International Film Festival Rotterdam will take place. Apart from the newest films and documentaries, there will also be music, talk shows and parties.
We’re looking forward to the Tiger Awards in particular, where new talents from all over the world show their film in hopes to win the award. Fifteen films have been nominated and eight of them will have their world premiere at the festival. Expect great films from all over the world, from directors who might be the next Nanni Moretti or Lars von Trier.

ONE MINUTE WONDERS
It’s always great to hear inspiring people telling about themselves and what drives them. We came across this series of videos, One Minute Wonders, which presents seven “people who live within a moment in time that we define as the Present Plus”. In sixty seconds, they talk about what they do for a living, their vision and future goals. Very inspiring, check it our here.
HOTSPOT: FRIDAY NEXT
Today, we would like to introduce another one of our favourite places in Amsterdam. If you’re a fan of design, interior and coffee – you’ll like it here too. Friday Next is a so-called concept store, bringing together a café with an interior design store.
We love to drop by, enjoy a delicious latte and glance over the furniture they offer, imagining what our dream house would look like. If you’re not immediately inspired by the furniture itself, you can always have a look at the “coffee table” books Friday Next sells. And for those of you who really want to step up their game; you can hire them for some personal interior advice.
You can find the store on Overtoom 31 in Amsterdam.
BACK TO THE FUTURE
We stumbled upon this series of photographs and we just had to share it with you. Photographer Irina Werning re-enacted people’s photos from the past, copying every single detail. It’s sharp, it’s touching, it’s admirable, and most of all: it’s hilarious.
