International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR) has unveiled its “Cinema Regained” program for 2025, featuring 43 restored classics, documentaries, and film heritage explorations. The strand includes both contemporary works and pre-1970 restorations.

Key premieres include Mousso Fariman — the first film from Burkinabé director Drissa Touré (Haramuya) in 30 years, co-directed with Stéphane Mbanga — and The Lilac Wind of Paradjanov, a tribute to the late, legendary Soviet filmmaker Sergei Parajanov, from director Ali Khamraev. The film will screen in Rotterdam 38 years after Parajanov and co-director Dodo Abashidze’s The Legend of Suram Fortress premiered at IFFR in 1987, winning the prize for best innovative film.

The Cinema Regained program will also show a restored version of José Álvaro Morais’s The Jester, which was first screened at IFFR in 1988.

Other highlights include Lee Taewoong’s Korean Dream: The Nama-jinheung Mixtape, examining Korean Cold War history through archival footage; Khavn’s AI-driven Bomba Bernal, which pays homage to Filipino genre cinema; and Saeed Nouri’s Tehran, An Unfinished History, a deep dive into pre-1979 Iranian cinema.

Women filmmakers feature prominently, with Katha from veteran Indian director Sai Paranjpye; Vani Subramanian’s documentary Cinema Pe Cinema: The Theatres. The Movies. And Us; and Oyoyo, a drama from Gujarati filmmaker Chetna Vora, which examines foreign student life in the German Democratic Republic-

Forgotten or under-appreciated film culture is another thematic thread, with such titles as Hafiz Rancajale’s Bachtiar, a look at the suppressed legacy of the late Indonesian director Bachtiar Siagian; and Edgar Georg Ulmer’s Cossacks in Exile (1939) representing Ukrainian exile cinema; and Ramón Rivera Moret’s Todo parecía posible, examining rural filmmaking in Puerto Rico.

The 54th IFFR runs Jan. 30-Feb. 9.
