A variety of subjects were raised Monday at the International Film Festival Rotterdam’s “Bending the Genre” industry panel, aiming to explore the possibilities of the art-house genre film. Rather predictably, funding was among them.
Mexican filmmaker Artemio Narro — director of the comedic and politically tinged road movie ColOZio, showing at the festival — offered perhaps the most imaginative money-raising suggestion for those starting out. For his debut feature, the 2015 horror Me quedo contigo, Narro asked his friends in the art world to invest in the film through their work.
“So basically, I got about 60 artworks from ...

How would you program this year's newest, most interesting films into double features with movies of the past you saw in 2015?Looking back over the year at what films moved and impressed us, it is clear that watching old films is a crucial part of making new films meaningful. Thus, the annual tradition of our end of year poll, which calls upon our writers to pick both a new and an old film: they were challenged to choose a new film they saw in 2015—in theatres or at a festival—and creatively pair it with an old film they also saw in 2015 to create a unique double feature.All the contributors were given the option to write some text explaining their 2015 fantasy double feature.

A self-taught filmmaker from Mexico, Artemio Narro, catches the theme from the other side in his feature debut I Stay With You (Me Quedo Contigo).Spaniard Natalia (Beatriz Arjona) flies to Mexico City to meet her boyfriend Esteban.
