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 warmly welcome you to Wallonia, where you can see Eva Giolo’s film Becoming Landscape from now until September at Charleroi’s Photo Museum. Read here the review ‘Un paysage est un état d’esprit’ au Musée de la photographie’ in Arts Libre (French) by Jean-Marc Bodson.
In the spring edition of the art journal GLEAN, you can read Rebecca’s studio visit with Subversive Film, whose work consists in cataloguing, inventorying, restoring, connecting and disseminating Palestinian films of the militant era as an act of remembering. She writes:
The films they re-circulate are part of a collective struggle, a collective memory. Recirculation is therefore an act of preservation, in defiance of the systematic silencing of their images and their memories by the Israeli state and military, among others. (…) For SF, returning to images of the past is a political act. These images serve as evidence that the Nakba is not in the past.
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
