Rotterdam: Tim Burton’s ‘Big Eyes’ to Screen in Limelight Section

Tim Burton‘s Big Eyes, a biopic of 1960s painter Margaret Keane starring Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz, will screen at the 2015 Rotterdam Film Festival as part of the fest’s Limelight section.

Other high-profile art-house titles confirmed for the Limelight sidebar include Ruben Ostlund‘s Force Majeure, Jessica Hausner‘s Amour Fou, Christian Petzold‘s Phoenix, Alice Rohrwacher‘s The Wonders and Abderrahmane Sissako‘s Timbuktu

Unlike Rotterdam’s main competition program, which only includes films from first- and second-time directors, the Limelight section is meant to highlight new works by established art-house filmmakers and celebrate recent success stories.
