MaMA: The Dysfunctional Family

MAMA: The Dysfunctional Family is an intimate film about Rotterdam's idiosyncratic creative community. The documentary, directed by Ciska Meister, is a journey through time and examines how the meaning of MAMA for the city of Rotterdam has changed over the past 23 years. From the year 2021, those involved look at the history and future, and through candid stories it becomes apparent that MAMA is more than just a physical space. It is a family feeling, a philosophy of life, a universe in itself.
