Omgeving Celbeton - Cinema avond in Netwerk Aalst
23.05
Why do non-European artists leave their homeland to settle in Europe? How can artists who have recently arrived in Belgium develop their artistic practice and gain visibility within the art scene? KIOSK and Netwerk Aalst are working together on an evening consisting of the projection of short films and a discussion between Yara Al Chehayed and filmmaker Eyas Mokdad to formulate possible answers to these questions.
Rand Abou Fakher in collaboration with Yara Al Chehayed, chose the four short films that can be seen in the cinema room of Netwerk from the catalog of the French production and distribution house Wind Cinema. Rand Abou Fakher is a filmmaker, programmer and head of production at Wind Cinema, Yara Al Chehayed is a PhD student at the Université Catholique de Louvain and a member of Tashattot Collective.
