During the past decade, an exceptional breeding ground for artists’ films and videos driven by artists, curators and producers has sprung up in Brussels and other Belgian cities - such as Antwerp, Ghent and Mechelen - within the context of an art field and production context that have become more and more hybrid. They set up initiatives and workplaces where (moving image) projects are being developed, realised and distributed, following the individual needs of the artists and within an atmosphere of reflection and discussion. Beside a 3-days film program, this presentation - as part of the "Production Talk" series of the Kunstproduzenten - introduces four selected Belgium initiatives and discusses - if there is one - "Belgian phenomenon" as well as issues of archiving, conservation and education of and around the moving image.
