elephy is an artist-run, Brussels-based production and distribution platform for film and media art. It supports its productions by providing them with professional framework which ensures that they can be made with the greatest artistic freedom. The distribution of elephy works goes beyond the festival and cinema circuits to include museums, art centres, educational and new media contexts. In 2019, elephy initiated MIA (Moving Image Atelier) and became a member of the open platform PAM (Platform for Audiovisual and Media arts). more

We are very proud to announce that our latest elephy production, Memory Is an Animal, It Barks with Many Mouths by Eva Giolo, was awarded Best Short Film at the 15th edition of the Bucharest International Experimental Film Festival (BIEFF)!

This November, you’ll find Rebecca Jane Arthur in Oslo, where she was selected for the PRAKSIS thematic residency on “elasticity”. For her film script Oh, Nellie!, she’ll be thinking of the elastic relations between the individual and social body, belonging and un-belonging, knowing and unknowing, and the search and need for roots. Find out more during her public presentation on 5 November.
On 6 November, we’ll be at LUCA School of Arts in Brussels for a live documentary performance by Christina Stuhlberger and Kersti Grunditz Brennan called Double-voiced – Poetics of Exchange.
All the while, elephy’s heart and mind is with the people of Gaza and the hostages taken on the 7th of October. We support, unequivocally, an immediate ceasefire and a free Palestine, and condemn Israel’s unrelentless attack on the Palestinian people.
Hunting for safety
and eager for peace
We follow the leaders who chew up
the land (…)
I’m standing in place
I’m holding your hand
and pieces of children
on patches of sand
