Eye is the film museum in Amsterdam. It is dedicated to developing a vigorous film culture in the Netherlands. Eye has an extensive and internationally renowned collection. Its programmes, events and services are geared toward the general public as well as specialised groups, and draw upon its unique collection. Eye is respected worldwide for its restoration and research expertise, as well as its significant experience in the areas of education and international promotion and marketing of Dutch films (Eye International). Eye encourages debate and reflection about the role of film and media in society today. It also helps shape film and media policy on a national level. Eye Filmmuseum was founded on 1 January 2010 by merging four important film organisations: Holland Film, the Nederlands Instituut voor Filmeducatie, the Filmbank and the Filmmuseum. Since April 2012, Eye is located in its new building: an architectural landmark in Amsterdam on the banks of the river IJ, behind Central Station.

International Festival of Digital Creativity & Electronic Music Launched in the year 2000, MUTEK is dedicating itself to the presentation of live electronic music and real-time audiovisual performance, making it one of the rare outlets in North America for such innovations. After 20 years, the festival’s future-seeking mandate has matured—and while the promise has in many ways caught up with the present—its commitment to the ongoing mutations and variations of contemporary digital creativity remain, with its eyes and ears still fixated on what comes next. The festival extends now to 6 days and nights—and integrates the professional Forum into the architecture of the week to enrich conversations and encounters with current technologically driven practices and philosophies. Plugged into a global circuit since inception, creating an international rendezvous for artists and publics alike, the festival thrives on creating a context for discovery and exchange. Faithful to its values of inclusion and accessibility, MUTEK is committed to more equitable and representative programming of all diversities, in particular through the Amplify initiative. It also magnifies Montréal, not just as its urban backdrop, but as the source of so much of its creative soul; the local is always elevated in dialogue with exceptional artists from around the world. MUTEK has built a unique model over the years that has proven seductively exportable. Tentacles stretch across 4 continents, to 6 other cities now, with each satellite adapting the festival’s template of values as a means to inspire new ways of engaging with the richness of electronic and digital artistry.
