ANIMATE/LUX

Two organisations whose work we closely follow and deeply admire will present their activities at the festival and screen a selection of their films and videos: Animate Projects and LUX, represented, respectively, by Gary Thomas and Mike Sperlinger.

You’re kindly invited to join us for a drink after the presentation. It will be followed by the Awards Ceremony announcing the winners of the Belgian and International Competition.

LUX

LUX is an international arts agency for the support and promotion of artists’ moving image practice and the ideas that surround it. Founded in 2002, it builds on a lineage of predecessor organisations (The London Filmmakers Cooperative, London Video Arts and The Lux Centre) which stretches back to the 1960s. LUX is the largest distributor of artists’ films and videos in Europe (representing 4500 works by approximately 1500 artists from 1920s to the present day).
