Take5* Brussels

*Take5* is a filmed encounter inspired by Dave Brubeck's "Take 5," encouraging reflection and breaks. It brings together five international cultural and artistic figures to engage in dynamic, real-time conversations about the arts and their societal roles. The format, directed by Oscar-nominated Stefan Arsenijevic, is designed as both a day-meeting and a 60-minute documentary, capturing unfiltered exchanges.
The goal is to generate deep reflections and "beyond the obvious" statements about the arts in Europe and globally, breaking boundaries in a personal and intense way. The format aims to be accessible yet intellectually stimulating, targeting festival audiences, cultural communities, and policy makers.
The first edition took place at the Arts and History Museum in Brussels, featuring figures like Ada Mukhina and Haris Pašović. They were joined by provocateurs such as Stephanie D’Hose, President of the Belgian Senate, to challenge and deepen their discussions. The concept is envisioned as a series to be produced in different cities, fostering artistic debate through a local lens.
