Raihan Halim’s “La Luna” will close the 53rd edition of International Film Festival Rotterdam, which has also revealed the lineup of its Tiger competition section, a platform for up-and-coming filmmakers, and Big Screen Competition, a program for more established talent. “La Luna,” which has its European premiere at the festival, is a comedy about a conservative Malaysian village shaken by the arrival of a lingerie store.
Among the Tiger competition films is British director Justin Anderson’s “Swimming Home,” starring Mackenzie Davis, Christopher Abbott and Ariane Labed.
Adapted from Deborah Levy’s novel, it centers on Joe and Isabel, whose marriage is dying when Kitti, a naked stranger found floating in the pool at their holiday villa, is invited to stay.

The film, which is being sold by Bankside Films, is described as “a surreal and darkly comic journey into the unresolved traumas that lurk in the shadows of all our lives.” Iranian film “Me, Maryam, the Children and 26 Others,” directed by Farshad Hashemi, explores the impact on a young woman living alone when she allows a film crew to shoot in her home.
