Vrijplaats residency

FilmForwards’ Vrijplaats residency is a free work and think space in which filmprofessionals get the time and space to research their professional practice. The trajectory is meant for personal or in-depth research within all kinds of different disciplines: whether you draw storyboards, write scenarios, compose scores, or develop animations. FilmForward guides you through this with experienced coaches and experts from the professional field.
