The International Film Festival Rotterdam Announces 2025 Line-Up

The International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR) has revealed its schedule for 2025, featuring the Red Sea Film Foundation-supported film Dead Dog, directed by Lebanese filmmaker Sarah Francis. The festival is scheduled to occur from January 30 to February 9.

Dead Dog follows the journey of Walid and Aida, a married couple dealing with the emotional repercussions of Walid’s prolonged absence abroad. As they confront unexpressed feelings and concealed truths, Aida’s silence regarding their cherished dog, Punto, becomes a central theme. The film delves into issues of estrangement, trust, and the intricacies of marital dynamics, all set against a backdrop of evolving relationships and emotional strain.

Sarah Francis, a filmmaker from Beirut, has experience as a director, editor, and content researcher for various production companies and regional museums. Dead Dog is her third feature film and represents her most significant venture into the realm of fiction.
