Rotterdam, The Netherlands -- The 34th International Film Festival Rotterdam opens here tomorrow with 14 films vying for the top Tiger Awards and special attention given to new talent.
Featured during the 10-day festival focusing on independent, creative and experimental filmmaking will be three films by Theo van Gogh, the Dutch filmmaker murdered by a suspected Muslim extremist in November. Tight security is planned when his film Submission, which deals with Islam and the abuse of women, is aired.
The film caused an uproar in the Muslim community when it was shown on Dutch TV in August. Not long afterward, van Gogh was slain. A Moroccan man has been arrested in the case. AFP
I smell trouble brewing in Rotterdam. Good.
Fatboy looks like he's doing the Muslim prayer hand gestures
