Beyond the Red Carpet
The red carpet lasts a few minutes. The culture that surrounds a film festival — programmers, critics, craftspeople, cities and audiences — lasts all year.
Sections
Arts & Culture
Cinema, festivals, exhibitions, ateliers, design and heritage.
Culture is what gives a journey its depth. An exhibition can change the way a city is seen; a festival can transform it for a week; an artist’s house can say more about a period than a history book. Arts & Culture follows these encounters.
What you will find here
- Cinema and festivals: the programmes, the cities and the people behind the screen — beyond the red carpet.
- Exhibitions and museums: shows worth travelling for, and institutions with a distinctive point of view.
- Ateliers and artists’ houses: places where work is made, and the stories they keep.
- Design and architecture: buildings, objects and interiors that shape how we live.
- Heritage: crafts and traditions that deserve to be understood and continued.
How we approach it
Exhibition dates, programmes and opening hours are verified before publication and dated. We say whether we have visited an exhibition or attended an event; a festival edition we did not attend is never described as if we had. Images of artworks are published only with the necessary rights.
