Our opening night screening is all about flooding and sea-level rise and how we can continue with the status quo or we can adapt to this climate change reality.
"Inundation District" is our feature film (not available for streaming) which will be screened with "House of Adaptation" at the in-person event.

House of Adaptation
The Global Center on Adaptation (GCA) is an NGO working on adapting the world to a changing climate. When looking for a place for their headquarters, the city of Rotterdam proposed to donate them a building that will float with the rising sea levels.
The documentary film takes the viewers on a journey through the minds of all the people that gave life to this project: politicians, designers and builders. Why would you build a floating building in the middle of the city and what does it have to do with climate politics? The film contains the answers to these questions, gives a sneak peek into the board rooms of GCA and holds a place for the legendary mayor of Rotterdam: Ahmed Aboutaleb.
