Vangarmen has been working for various film festivals for over 30 years. Annually recurring assignments include the film catalogue of the International Film Festival Rotterdam and the Netherlands Film Festival. Previous assignments included the Holland Animation Film Festival, Cinekid, the International Documentary Filmfestival Amsterdam, FORUM, Docs for Sale and the Jan Vrijman Fund, the latter four from 1988 to 2013. This spawned a large number of assignments by filmmakers and film production companies like Cinedans, Eye Film, screenplay writer Luuk van Bemmelen, Noordelijk Filmfestival and World Cinema Amsterdam.
