RISE Fly Fishing Film Festival 2013

The RISE Fly Fishing Film Festival 2013 is planned for 12 & 13 March 2013. The third edition in The Netherlands since 2010.

The feature film for 2013 is Predator. Predator explores the globe for the largest and most powerful fish that can be taken with a fly rod.

These large predators employ all sorts of techniques to maximise their chance of catching prey. Some, like the queenfish use pure speed to outrun and crush their prey in the surface film. Others like the mighty barramundi of Australia’s North use brute power to get a feed. Predator is going to be a visual extravaganza.

We changed the Amsterdam venue from Tuschinksi down town Amsterdam to Pathé Arena for easier access by car as well as parking facility nearby. The Rotterdam venue is still held at Cinerama.

Tickets for either of these venues are only available here.



Update Feb 16 2013:
Here is a preview snap of the announcement of RISE in the March 2013 issue of the Dutch angling magazine BEET.


Update March 14 2013:
Two shows done.

The ticket sale for both venues were about 30% down from previous edition(s). The Rotterdam venue turned out to be slightly more filled than the Amsterdam venue.

The reactions on this year's show were great. The three short movies before the feature movie were well received.

Especially the search for the illusive (300+ lbs!) Arapaima in Guyana (South America) turned out to be a very enjoyable one. As of yesterday (March 13 2013) this movie, Jungle fish, won the Sustainability Film Award at the 2013 Sundance Film festival.

Here's an (favorable) article on the BEET website about the show we did last evening. Thanks to Rudy van Duijnhoven again for the pictures of the show!
