For our 2022 edition, we are getting back to the Roode Bioscoop’s roots as a home for anarchic cinema. Never has the screen been as vibrant or as critical of a medium as it is in our age of disassociation.
We welcome films that break down boundaries: between artistic disciplines, between borders, between society and those it often overlooks at its margins, between reality and what new worlds we can create. We support filmmakers, established and emerging, who challenge convention, and we also encourage submissions that excavate "forgotten" or unexpected art forms and upend established codes of stage and performance for the screen.
Jardin Rouge is led by the multidisciplinary international performance and visual art collective Snowapple and is a home for projects that have taken root in the soil of dance, theatre, animation, and other innovative forms of storytelling to create unexpected visual universes.
THE OPEN DOOR TO THE GREAT UNKNOWN
JARDIN ROUGE 2022:
The Intergalactic Jardin Rouge is an invitation to leave a barren earth to create new experiences, free from gravity.
The festival opens the door to the unknown, to black holes, to hospitable planets and spaceships to offer us the possibility to dream bigger, far from our blue planet.
These last years have enjoined us to fold our wings, and walk around our few square meters of living rooms and cities, but today we want to mutate, to transform ourselves, to become a new chimeric being, human-animal, object-plant, extraterrestrial unfolding in the universe, and the multiverse.
The Jardin Rouge is a multicolored spaceship with no destination, whose stopovers will be random, sometimes in orbit, sometimes stopping for a few minutes on a smoky planet, sometimes meeting with the asteroids.
MORE ABOUT JARDIN ROUGE:
The Jardin Rouge Festival is a polymorphous and multidisciplinary international festival, which can be found in Amsterdam, where it was born, as well as in Paris, Mexico City, etc.
Supported by the artistic collective and the production company Snowapple, this festival defends emerging and confirmed creation, characterised by audacity, a search for new forms, a break with convention.
The aim of the festival is to create a space for freedom and creation.
The objective is to create moments where a varied public meets new artistic forms, shaking up the known.
A total festival, the Jardin Rouge includes a reflection on the senses, the visual, our position in the world, the relationship with the public, the fluidity of the arts, while favouring a non-institutional and underground approach aiming to make quality visual and musical performances and proposals accessible to all.
Le Jardin Rouge develops in places, theatres, cultural spaces having a real investment in a reflection on the accompaniment of the artists, spaces allowing performers a freedom of action, of adaptation, ready to transform themselves to pick up the spectator and surprise him.
Based on the notions of experimentation, laboratory and horizontal sharing, the Jardin Rouge defends the idea of proposing to artists to meet and confront their practices, but also to meet and exchange with the spectators in informal spaces and during training courses and quality workshops intended for both professionals and amateurs.
Together we celebrate creation, encounter and the joy of making mistakes!
