Maakplaatsen

For this open call, creators are invited to apply for a production project in which they will develop an interactive installation. The installation should be an experience for children that appeals to all their senses and will be screened during the Cinekid PUF at the Making Places and Cinemas in Twente. Creators are invited to propose a new project that connects to the PUF.

Make places are collaborative workplaces in libraries in all 14 Twente municipalities, with programs focused primarily on technology. Make places productions invite audiences of all ages and backgrounds to learn about and participate in new technological and innovative developments. With these open calls, makers are invited to propose a production offered in the context of these Making Places, in collaboration with Tetem and at least one other partner of Cross-TIC. In this track, the maker will also collaborate with 2 Making Places.
