Facts Not Filters

One year ago, twelve students from the Non Linear Narrative master's programme worked together with Boris van Westering from Free Press Unlimited on the project Facts Not Filters focusing on the need for press freedom. In seven groups, students of the programme investigated the complexity of culturally embedded and geographically specific details of regional news reporting and the use of media in doing so in countries such as Pakistan, Tunisia and Venezuela.

The artistic result is video and audio recordings that address the role of the media and threats to press freedom.
