VAEFE on Solidarity - Video Art & Experimental Film Event | Walk-in Cinema

What does solidarity look like on screen?

SEA Foundation Tilburg curates and hosts VAEFE, an international three-day film event, dedicated to artistic moving image productions. The biennale is in its second edition and features 22 short films of artists and filmmakers who explore approaches to Solidarity.

The walk-in cinema presents 6 - 8 films each day. The program loops every hour providing the public with the opportunity to navigate multiple screens in the exhibition venue and the garden. The event is open and free for everyone to join.

The selected films come from more than 350 submissions. The event features storytelling in experimental films, animations and performative registrations in various genres and film-making techniques. With the theme of solidarity the curatorial team focuses on unfolding many layers of empathy, support and care, as intrinsic notions towards more sustainable connections and radical ecology.
