On January, 29th Path\u00e9 Schouwburgplein welcomed nearly 350 EUR student to the special screening of a geeky comedy drama Frank, jointly organized by the IFFR and SG Erasmus. <\/b><\/p>\n

Not a single vacant space and the hall is bustling, with the boys laughing loudly at the back. The sight is indistinguishable from the Aula at Woudestein, only now the festival director comes up to the stage to introduce the programme of the evening.<\/p>\n

Extracurricular activities <\/b><\/p>\n

Apart from the screening, the organizers prepared some extra treats for the students \u2013 a free drink at the after-party at Schouwburg and two sets of tickets for the closing night. Mind two things: the event was sold out long ago and the only thing students had to do was to come (the winner was picked randomly by the sit number).<\/p>\n

The winner doesn\u2019t take it all<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cI did not know about the lottery, so I am as happy as surprised. But it feels good to win something for once\u201d, admits one of the lucky students, Marcel Post, 34, Bachelor at the Erasmus School of Economics. There\u2019s still a price to pay for him, though, \u201cI guess I will have to skip my mom\u2019s birthday party, but my girlfriend and I are definitely not missing out on this\u201d. <\/p>\n

Even if without a special prize to take home, other students were also rewarded. \u201cI would not normally pick such a movie, I love action films. But this one looks interesting\u201d, Olivier Hagenbeek, 24, Erasmus School of Law. \u201cIt\u2019s been great. It is my first time at the festival, even though I\u2019ve lived in Rotterdam for 5 years. Plus the tickets were half-price\u201d, adds his fellow student, Laurens Dormans, 23.<\/p>\n

The choice of the film<\/b><\/p>\n

The film of the night is Frank, starring Michael Fassbender and Maggie Gylenhaal. This is a prominently peculiar story of a musician who wears a wooden head, while striving to record an album with his band. As Rutger Wolfson remarked, \u201cI thought it was an original choice to get one of the most cash-making playboys in Hollywood and make him walk around in the mask for 95% of the movie\u201d. <\/p>\n

Recognizing themselves in characters obsessively documenting their lives on social media and putting hashtags on every imaginable action, students seemed pretty enthusiastic about the film. Monica Del Pozo, 21, student at RSM, voices the opinion of the majority, \u201cIt was a bit too open-ended and weird at times. But it\u2019s different and I liked it\u201d. KS<\/p>\n\n\t
