Our collaboration with BOZAR strengthens our mission by fostering an ongoing dialogue between cinematic art and other forms of cultural expression such as music, visual arts and performance. A recent highlight of this collaboration was the Travelling exhibition devoted to the life and work of Chantal Akerman, which had a profound effect on the public.
This summer, however, the Palais des Beaux-Arts is temporarily closing its doors for renovation work from 22 July to 15 August. These works will make it impossible for CINEMATEK to organise daily film screenings. As a result, we will exceptionally have to close our doors for three weeks this summer. But before and after this period

« Au lieu de connaître mon histoire par une transmission directe de parents à enfant, (...) je me suis constitué des souvenirs imaginaires. (...) Et pour rester dans ce qui me reste de tradition, je n'ai pu échapper aux histoires drôles (...), parfois consolatrices et qui permettent de survivre à l'histoire par le rire, un rire qui prend source dans la détresse même. » (Chantal Akerman) Précédé…
