Our goal is to offer a space that is as safe as possible for all visitors and staff members. By entering the Filmpool, you agree to treating our space and the people with respect and care. We do not accept racism, white supremacy, sexism, heterosexism/homophobia, cissexism/transphobia, sizeism, ableism and ageism, or any type of violence and harassment. The Filmpool does not tolerate any type of behaviour that is considered harmful, violent or aggressive and will take the needed action against people who behave in these ways in our space or during events that we are responsible for.
We hope that you can always enjoy visiting our space and events, and we want to make sure to accommodate all the diverse needs in our local arts community. We also acknowledge that we have limitations as an organization and that there are always new areas of development we should be aware of or things we could handle better. Please don't hesitate to tell us if we are not meeting your needs, if we have not considered something crucial to you, or if you simply have a suggestion you would like to share with us. Our staff is always ready to listen and come up with creative solutions.
