Director Simon Patoor and Line Pillet launched the cinemaplatform Because we are visual at De Studio in Antwerp on the 5th of February of 2018. 

In 2018 the lack of a substantial arthouse scene combined with the disappearing of cinema culture was shown explicitly in the Flemish media. Together with the shortage of opportunities to show these works, Because we are visual was created. Simon Patoor and Line Pillet tried on a small scale to offer a local solution tot this problem by presenting a program where Belgian cinema stood central.
