Lightroom 2026 report released

During IFFR 2026, Katoenhuis became the home of Lightroom – a new platform dedicated to immersive and non-linear storytelling. 

Hosted at Katoenhuis alongside the Art Directions programme, the symposium formed part of a broader effort to connect immersive artistic practice with professional exchange and longterm sector development. 

Across the day, participants examined the realities of producing, presenting and circulating immersive work. While artistic experimentation in the field has grown significantly in recent years, the systems designed to support it remain fragmented.

We’re happy to share the Lightroom Report 2026, capturing the key insights, questions and future directions that emerged from these discussions.
