What is FLUX?

One weekend where games become culture, art and festival energy

FLUX is not a trade show. It is a culture festival gathering talks, concerts, installations, playable showcases and creative communities under one roof at Filmbyen, Aarhus. Whether you play, make, study or simply want to understand games better, there is a way in.
