The Gena Rowlands | Setsuko Hara Project Room opened its doors in 2009 when Giles Bailey and Arvo Leo converted the name of a room in Rotterdam from Room 1.07 to the Gena Rowlands|Setsuko Hara Project Room. Since then numerous film-based events have taken place in the room. However, the G.R.S.H Project Room then began moving elsewhere from place to place as it saw fit. And this was easy enough; because in order to move the Room one only needed to move the brass plaque on the room's door and put it on another door... If a door moves, the room moves with it.

*

To those of you who cannot make the Friday screening there will be another screening on Sunday, November 25th at 2pm.

*

* Please note that 12 Film Posters made two years ago on November 24th, 2010 will be on display in order to help orchestrate the evening. Moreover, about a month after these posters were created it was decided that a song should be made to accompany each poster. Attached here is one of these songs (made by Arvo, Giles, and Stefan Udell) composed for the poster ostensibly titled: Mosquitos.
