Network

Behind the YEAD project there are six organizations from Western European countries. They all are active in the sociocultural and visual fields and convinced that artistic practices are vectors for social inclusion and emancipation. The YEAD members belive that cultural policies and structures in Europe have to better reflect its cultural diversity. During the four years of project, the YEAD members worked with numerous cultural operators ready to take steps in that direction.

  • Centre Vidéo de Bruxelles

    CVB

    Project leader - The Centre Vidéo de Bruxelles is an audiovisual operator active in the artistic field through documentary film production, and in the social field through information and awareness-raising film production, as well as the organisation of video workshops with vulnerable groups. Three principles are at the heart of our approach: culture as an essential vector of individual and collective emancipation, working with images as a fully-fledged language and a vital tool, and the active and full participation of the concerned audiences. CVB promotes socially committed cinema, both ethically and politically, where the humanity of individuals is simultaneously the driver and centre, delivering a cinema which shows other diverse and complex stories of the world with the purpose of contributing to a future with more justice and solidarity. CVB’s will is to work with people and not about people, to help in freeing the embedded speech which is too often distorted, and to encourage artists, directors, and young authors to share their views in order to listen and to see differently. At the heart of this practice is documentary cinema: to watch, to observe, to show, to analyse, and question the complexity of the real in an ethical and positioned way. www.cvb.be
