	Rotterdam Turns to Japan
		Most film festivals, of course, are devoted to live-action and it is rare for animation to have more than a token presence; features are rarely screened except perhaps in market screenings and shorts are usually screened without any thought to the (live-action) feature that follows.
		The first major European festival of the new millennium, the International Film Festival Rotterdam, attracted me because, apart from its reputation for informality and friendliness, highlighted a Japanese animation programme.
		Rotterdam promised not only this but demonstrated careful consideration of how it could be integrated into the other themes selected by the Festival, in this case the "Bridging the Gap" and "Exploding Cinema" programmes.

		In an event as grand and vast and multi-layered as the International Film Festival Rotterdam, such direction (or coercion) of viewers is, at the outset, a flagrant impossibility.
		Nonetheless, this year's Rotterdam Festival, under the guidance of Simon Field and Sandra den Hamer, had an aggressive agenda, and a great deal of energy was devoted – very successfully, in my view – to making it stick in people's minds as they made their daily selections.

		Most festivals would never imagine that that is “cinema,” but for Rotterdam, cinema — and a film festival — is all of that, and more.

		Julianne Moore and Dennis Haysbert (fresh from playing the presidential candidate in TV series 24) relish the opportunity to wallow in their forbidden love, and Dennis Quaid, all guilt and desperate sexuality, is the most engrossing he's been in years.
		As viewers we feel as if we have walked these corridors ourselves and recognise the stock protagonists – the femme fatale, the gambler, the hood – yet we are unconventionally at one remove from them, trying in vain to grasp at their ethereality and transience.
