Roffa Mon Amour
Open Air Film Festival
August 16 - 27
Brutus Roffa Mon Amour is a film platform showing new cinematic talent from around the world.

During our annual open-air film festival Roffa Mon Amour we celebrate cinematic talent from around the world, presenting films at night at a playful location. Roffa Mon Amour thrills and moves you with a selection of colourful, daring films from new and known filmmakers, live Cinema Concerts, introductions and Q&As. Roffa Mon Amour was brought to life to celebrate and enjoy the work of intelligent, creative and noble directors that dare to challenge their audience to open their mind, to ruminate not swallow, to question never accept. Come and celebrate film with us! Roffa Mon Amour was founded by Charlotte van Zanten and Lisa Smith. It all started with a huge fondness for arthouse cinema and a lacking of diverse programming in Rotterdam which brought them together in 2012. Ever since they have supported world cinema.

18.08 | Do You Love Me (2025) by Lana Daher 🇱🇧

Do You Love Me is a love letter to Beirut and a hypnotic journey through Lebanon’s audiovisual memory.

Through the eyes of citizens, filmmakers, and artists, the film reconstructs a fragmented history in a country without a national archive, celebrating playful creative expression as both resistance and a way to preserve memory.

This evening starts with a conversation between the director of World Press Photo (), Joumana El Zein Khoury () and filmmaker Diana Al-Halabi (.al.halabi), who will take a closer look at the role of imagery and archives in reconstructing a collective memory that has been erased.
