The Best Performing Arts Venue in Brussels, Belgium
Although the presence of both French and Flemish drives a wedge or two through the capital's cultural landscape, it also delivers some advantages. Both Flemish- and French-language authorities inject funds into the arts scene; one notable combined effort is the annual KunstenFESTIVALdesArts (www.kfda.be), a contemporary arts festival held in May. A glance at the "What's On" section of weekly English-language news magazine the Bulletin reveals the breadth of the offerings in all categories of cultural life.
This nonprofit arts cinema has a lively bar downstairs and the occasional art installation. A well-curated schedule of indie, documentary, and experimental films are often screened with English subtitles (check the website).
