As always, Courtisane festival 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. (In Sphinx Cinema, Film-Plateau and Witte Zaal.)
On top of that, two thematic evenings (in Vooruit) 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.
