The Vrijplaats op Maat residency is a free workspace and think tank where film and AV professionals have the opportunity to deepen and develop their professional practice. After six successful editions of Vrijplaats, FilmForward’s residency programme, we are now organising the second edition of the Vrijplaats op Maat residency in collaboration with Playgrounds.
Playgrounds is an organisation supporting and developing visual culture, focusing on film, animation, games, illustration, and digital art, with an emphasis on the creative process of (moving) images and the concept behind it. The focus is not on displaying the final result (the artwork, film, or game), but rather how it took shape and in what context. In a time of automation and manipulation of images and truth, this perspective is of crucial societal and cultural importance.
Theme: Visual Worlds and Stories In this edition, we focus on the development of visual worlds, concept art, and everything related to visual storytelling. Do you have a project that could benefit from further research? Then this is your chance to dive deeper and experiment.
