      Cinema platform WYSIWYG (‘What You See Is What You Get’) stimulates an alternative cinema culture by revisiting how we look at film. By inviting artists and writers to play with the architecture, rituals and paradigms involved around cinema, we create playful events that invite visitors to reflect on ways of watching film. This context offers a unique space to programme new films, relevant classics and overlooked gems. At the same time, we create an open setting which welcomes everyone, whether you are a film geek or an absolute ‘leek’. Show less
