Thank You for another successful Film Festival!

Thank you for making our 21st Annual Rochester Film Festival a success.  We would like to thank all of our sponsors, partners and everyone who came out to see the films. 

Our festival would not be possible without the participation of the Film Society of Minneapolis St. Paul and by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts & cultural heritage fund.

Next iFilm: SCHNEIDER vs. BAX
Oct 12th, 6:00pm at Rochester Public Library

SCHNEIDER VS. BAX
DIRECTED BY ALEX VAN WARMERDAM
NETHERLANDS / 2015 / DUTCH WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES

SYNOPSIS:
Schneider, a hitman, gets a call from Mertens on the morning of his birthday. He has a last-minute assignment for Schneider who refuses the request because it is his birthday. Mertens insists that it is an important matter. When they meet in Mertens' office, Schneider is told that the target is Ramon Bax, a writer. He lives alone in a secluded place. "It's an easy job. With a little luck you're back home before noon." Schneider accepts the assignment. What was promised to be a simple hit turns out to be more than expected.
