The 2026 edition of the Courtisane Festival returns to Ghent from 1–5 April, bringing together filmmakers and artists working at the intersection of experimental cinema, political reflection and audiovisual research. The festival continues its long-standing commitment to cinema as a space of inquiry—where historical works and contemporary practices meet in carefully curated thematic programs.

DOBRA – International Festival of Experimental Cinema emerged ten years ago as a gathering of friends who shared their passion for experimental film. Throughout its trajectory, the festival has established itself as a vibrant space in Brazil, presenting screenings, performances, debates, workshops, and other initiatives that push the boundaries of cinema.

Archivio Aperto is the festival dedicated to the rediscovery of small-format film heritage — private, amateur, experimental, artist’s cinema — and their contemporary reuse organised by Home Movies – Archivio Nazionale del Film di Famiglia.
