We have designed a handy little 48-page brochure in A6-format, which comprises some of the activities planned for 2010 among the PNEK nodes, plus links and other useful info about festivals and friendly structures in Norway. We’ll bring it along wherever we go during the spring, e.g. the Rotterdam Film Festival (Jan 28-Feb 3), Transmediale (Berlin, Feb 3-7), Sonic Acts (Amsterdam, Feb 25-28), and the Qwartz Awards (Paris, April 1-3). The snappy design is made by our friends @ Upstruct Berlin/Oslo.
We’ll happily send you one or more copies by post, just send us an email. Or you can download the folder here (< 18 Mb, pdf)
