Happily Ever After, a documentary film by Tatjana Božić, co-produced by Jongens van de Wit (Netherlands), Factum and Zelovic Productions (Netherlands) is one of five so far made public (and 15 announced) titles selected for screening in the competition section of the International Rotterdam Film Festival, where it will compete for the Hivos Tiger Award.

Happily Ever After is a (tragic)comical attempt of the director to question her previous relationships and thus save the current one. Director Tatjana Božić grew up in Croatia, studied in Moscow and today splits her time between Zagreb and Amsterdam. Happily Ever After is her feature-length debut.

The feature-length competition selection in Rotterdam shows first and second films and its selection focuses on genre hybrids and innovative and often avant-garde directing approach. Because of its extremely rich film programme and developed industry section (CineMart), every year Rotterdam attracts a great number of film professionals, which is why it is considered an A-list festival.

Factum is for the second year in a row present in the IRFF selection. Last year the Signals Regained category showed Jagoda Kaloper’s film self-portrait Behind The Looking Glass.

The 43rd edition of the International Rotterdam Film Festival takes place 22 January thru 2 February 2014. The rest of the programme will be made public by 15 January. More information is available on the official festival website.
