IFFR x Club Haug

They say Blue Monday is the most depressing day of the year.
We say that’s exactly why Rotterdam needs comedy, film and community.

Join IFFR x Club Haug on Monday, January 19 and turn the gloomiest day of the year around. When the post-holiday blues hit hardest and winter feels endless, we’re fighting back with the best medicine there is: laughter, film and togetherness.

Because if we’re going to survive Blue Monday, we might as well do it together — and with a smile. Club Haug and IFFR present an evening of fun and film, alongside a preview of some of the most joy-inducing titles from the upcoming IFFR 2026 programme.

About Memoir of a Snail

Memoir of a Snail is a heartfelt claymation film by Academy Award–winning filmmaker Adam Elliot, who has a rare talent for finding light in dark places. With its eccentric characters, playful animation and distinctive, quietly funny visual style, the film creates a tender universe where lost souls are given space to heal, redeem themselves and, maybe, find happiness. Bittersweet, deeply human and gently hopeful, Memoir of a Snail reminds us to embrace the life we have, snails and all.

There’s more to get you through this depressing day and a perfect way to end it.
This Blue Monday, January 19, join Comedy Club Haug x IFFR for a special screening of Memoir of a Snail. Because if the day is bleak, the night doesn’t have to be.
