Education
Dossiers
Through dossiers, we give a permanent place on the website to the additional framing of film programmes, filmmakers and our own operations.
The content and educational approach can vary from sketching the historical framework or film theory interpretation around genres and film techniques to framing with an eye to the gender spectrum, racism and the impact of film on representation.

Âge d'Or
Prix Âge d'Or
L'Âge d'Or was created by Jacques Ledoux, founder of the Film Museum. L'Âge d'Or is the name of the surrealist feature film by Luis Buñuel from 1930. For Ledoux, this was the pre-eminent example of a film in which innovative language makes the subversiveness of the content even more pungent.

So Bad It's Great
In cooperation with SCC, this summer we offer an educational and scholarly look at the charm and value of 'bad movies'. Jeremi Szaniawski wrote a short text in which he frames this educational film cycle within the context of our current health crisis. On 21.06 Jeremi Szaniawski will be presenting a lecture in French on "guilty pleasures" as an introduction to the film Xanadu. On 28.06 Michael Cramer will elaborate (also in French) on the 'demonic' Italian cinema of Lamberto Bava (but also Mario Bava, Lucio Fulci, Dario Argento, Claudio Fragasso...).

The Man Who Had His Hair Cut Short
The man who had his hair cut short is one of the first Belgian films with an international career. The screenplay of this debut film by André Delvaux, one of the classics of Flemish magic-realist cinema, is based on the novel of the same name by Johan Daisne. The main character, lawyer Govert Miereveld, teaches at a girls' school in a provincial town. He harbours a secret platonic love for his pupil Fran, which plunges him into a downward spiral of mental disorientation.
