"It should be remembered that cinema was born documentary, that the element of subjectivity, of staging or directing, constitutes the cinematographic act and that the documentary is there to continually remind us of this, so distinguishing it from information and the media."
Georges Heck in La Lettre des Pôles 09 Autumn-Winter 2008

The Centre Vidéo de Bruxelles sees itself as an Image-focused enterprise the general layout of which has a clearly visible structure built around five major axes: the art house documentary tackling social, political and art issues and constantly searching for new forms; working together with associations - in close collaboration to achieve a shared goal; video workshops - real hubs for creation and reflection, open to a wide audience; a carefully selected catalogue - focus on coherence and vision; and continuous reflection on the power of the image as truth.

Diverse approaches and individuality of content, where various genres, techniques and personal visions rub shoulders; hybridisation, the linking of an artistic approach with a more social one focusing on issues in society, attention given to individuals who are not experts, politicians, or leaders, but ordinary citizens… are all recurrent themes in our approach.
