We are organising a visitors’ programme together with arts centre nona to introduce international professionals to the field of moving image in Flanders and Brussels.
During the programme, we will introduce international professionals to artists and organisations and connect different players in the field of moving image in Flanders. The aim is to exchange knowledge and expertise and build an international network of references and opportunities.
The programme takes place from 20 to 23 September in Mechelen, Antwerp and Brussels. It includes an introduction to the Contour Biennale’s exhibition and screening programme as well as professional meetings with artists and networking events.
