60 minutes. 1 magazine. On Friday October 30th leave all your preconceived notions behind at the International Festival of the Image Rotterdam (Internationaal Beeldfestival Rotterdam), and join online design magazine Fontanel and creative community Nieuwe Garde for 60 Minute Magazine. At 60MM young up-and-coming creatives (journalists, photographers, illustrators, graphic designers and so on) produce – under the guidance of professionals – a magazine in one hour. Hanna Hagenaars, editor in chief of photography magazine Mister Motley, is guest editor in chief.
Brands like Adobe, Mac Rent, publisher Laurence King and the International Festival of the Image Rotterdam also support the project. The professionals assisting the young creatives include graphic designer/art director Joachim Baan and text editor Mariska Vogelenzang de Jong. The type for this project is offered by renowned Belgian foundry OurType, who puts their entire library at the disposal of the 60MM for the duration of the project.
This project takes place at the International Festival of the Image Rotterdam, in the Schiecentrale (Lloydkwartier) on Friday October 30th.

Internationaal Beeldfestival Rotterdam “A wide-ranging and substantive festival covering all aspects of the world of image and media”. This is how the organisation likes to describe the International Festival of the Image Rotterdam (IBFR). The festival launches on October 30 & 31 in the Lloyd District in Rotterdam. The IBFR embraces both a broad focus and a broad definition of the notion of the image – essential when presenting a cross-section of the image culture and related industries. With this in mind the IFBR offers an edgy mix not only of disciplines but also of creators, conceptualisers, inspirers and consumers from the worlds of both traditional and digital media. The substantive programme of seminars, presentations and installations make the festival a must for originators, commissioners, students and all those interested in the phenomenon of the image. Unique The festival is unique: there is no other festival in the Netherlands or elsewhere devoted to such diverse aspects of the world of the image and their interrelationships. The wide-ranging and substantive programme has been achieved in close concert with municipal agencies and creative groups. The Rotterdam-based 'Institute of Form & Image' is the organisational force behind the festival. Our ambition is to make the IBFR a major and ever-expanding annual event.
