The AFFF, which opens with the long-awaited “The Fall” by Tarsem Singh (“The Cell”), runs April 9-20.
Newly appointed director Phil van Tongeren is delighted to welcome Burton at his festival. “I consider him as one of the most remarkable, recognizable and innovative directors of our time,” he said. During his stay in Amsterdam, Burton will give a public interview on his career and a selection of his films will be presented.
