As always, Courtisane 2010 will present a broad selection of recent Belgian and international film and video works, bringing together an exciting mix of up and coming young talent and established names. 

On top of that, two thematic evenings will be filled with performances, installations and screenings. Thursday 18th March will be devoted to Night Vision, exploring the dynamics between visibility and invisibility, light and darkness, seeing the night and seeing in the night, with among others Paul Clipson & William Fowler Collins, Phantom Limb & Earth's Hypnagogia, Disinformation and Pieter Geenen. Surface Tension, on Friday 19th March, has Dominique Petitgand and Paul Abbott with Seymour Wright & Ross Lambert investigating the folds and fissures between perception and conscience, experience and meaning. 

This year's Artists in Focus are David O'Reilly, rising star in the animation community. Morgan Fisher, whose work sits between avant-garde cinema, film industry and contemporary art and David Gatten, who explores the intersection of the printed word and the moving image. Digest Sound, the exhibition, focuses on the sometimes successful, sometimes failing marriage between communication and technology, featuring work by Matt O'dell, Barry Hale & Joe Banks. The limits of communication will also be subject of the programme Vital Signs, with films and videos by Katarina Zdjelar, Gary Hill, David Gatten and many others. Our friends from KRAAK will also present a series of concerts during the festival. Get a foretaste with Carlos Giffoni & Oneohtrix Point Never on March 14th !
