De langste dag [The Longest Day] is an experimental television report from the opening of two large international exhibitions in Ghent, Belgium. Broadcast on national public service TV (VRT) on 21 June, 1986, as a six-hour live-show on the same night as the semi-final of the World Cup in Mexico, De langste dag presents and examines contemporary art and its institutions in a humorous and sophisticated way. The programme mimics the broadcasting of the football match through advanced media technology with live commentary, helicopter reporting, street interviews and panel discussions about contemporary art.

The screening is presented in collaboration with terrassen.bio and supported by Bisbebjerg Local Committee and Flanders – State of the Art.
