Stukafest Rotterdam has joined forces this year with other student cities to organise an extensive program during the four weeks of February. Each week, three cities are teaming up to broadcast a total of nine acts a week on Stukafest TV. This year, the organisation is having to deal with arranging an event online for the first time ever, which is why it decided to film all of the acts as early as December, so that all that remains to be done in February is to focus on putting the finishing touches on the design.<\/p>\n

Organising a festival in a time of crisis<\/h2>

\u201cThe board was also appointed during this crisis period. That\u2019s why we knew straightaway that we had to start thinking about a different format. Given that this is the first time that we are organising an online event, it\u2019s really great that we can work together with the other cities where this festival is being held,\u201d the organisation points out. Stukafest TV, which will be aired every Friday in February, is not only made up of acts from students based in Rotterdam, but also from other student cities, such as Nijmegen, Utrecht and Groningen. It was a pretty obvious step to go ahead with the festival online, but all in all, the main challenge is to carry out your plans well. That\u2019s why, for example, we decided not to do a livestream, but to record everything in advance instead. So, that way we can guarantee a high level of quality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Advantages of an online event<\/h2>

The mood this year will be different from other years. Not in a crowded student room anymore, but you get to watch all the acts behind your laptop. Despite this, the organisation does see advantages too: \u201cOur goal this year is to promote cultural activities in the city. This is badly needed, especially this year, because the cultural agendas are almost empty. Stukafest TV has the potential to reach more people and discover the local scene as a consequence.\u201d \u201cAnother cool thing about this year is that you will not only be able to see acts from your own city, but also from other cities. This doesn\u2019t just put the spotlight on even more fantastic acts, but the artists themselves gain more publicity as well.\u201c<\/p>\n

How things will be done this year<\/h2>

This year, you will once again be able to put together your own programme during Stukafest. Except that instead of live acts, you can check out online the ones that you want to see. In between the acts, you can \u2018cycle\u2019 through the cities and get a good impression of a selection of the various student residences in the Netherlands. Three different cities get their turn each week. The acts from Rotterdam are to be featured in week 7.<\/p>\n
