RAGING SUMMER
02.07 > 24.08
Now in its third year, our RAGING SUMMER has become an essential part of the Brussels film scene, and once again this year we're showing a wide range of films, from cult favourites to recent releases. So take your pick of the 35 films on offer, and don’t hesitate to let us know what you think!
Program
JUNE + JULY + AUGUST
An evening centered on the film Chess of the Wind by Mohammad Reza Aslani.
Throughout the year, journey through the history of silent cinema, from its origins to the rise of sound. Every screening is brought to life with live piano accompaniment.
CLASSICS is a collection of milestones and masterpieces featuring iconic figures both in front of and behind the camera. These are touchstones in cinema. While one might debate their specific qualities, there’s no arguing that they have become integral to our cultural heritage. As a collection, they do more than serve as examples or set standards—they facilitate a broader dialogue about cinema.
Free Anthology The film archive is bursting with films that rarely make it into programming for various reasons. Not every film, no matter how deserving, is considered a "classic" or easily fits into a specific theme. That’s why, alongside our thematic cycles, we also select a somewhat random assortment of films to be presented without additional commentary or context under the label FREE ANTHOLOGY.
THE SILVER SCREEN series revisits popular cinema from the 1930s to the 1980s. Classics from around the world, bringing back those unforgettable scenes where actors and actresses of the time lit up the screen. Cinema as it should always be experienced: sound and image projected on film and shown on the big screen, in a comfortable theater. And – if the film’s length allows – with a carefully selected pre-show: a trailer, a cartoon, a newsreel, or a documentary, recreating the movie-going experience of the past.
Lectures, introductions, workshops... All year round, CINEMATEK helps you discover the 7th art by calling on film-makers or specialists to come and share their knowledge and passion for cinema in our cinemas.

From classic works to super-experimental creations, from main-stream entertainment to the most militant stories: OUR STORY invites you to explore the rich history of lhbtqia+ cinema and question the complex links between the queer community and film, as film is both a space for emancipation and an instrument of discrimination. Our Story’s programmes, which also accommodate guest appearances and short contextualisations, are aimed at both the general public and audience members who want to reappropriate their film memory.
From the darkest corners of CINEMATEK's collection, we've unearthed a selection just for you: hilarious B-movies, spine-chilling thrillers, gripping cop dramas, giallo, slashers, blaxploitation, and other films with a unique edge. This is a must-see slice of alternative film history. Every last Friday of the month, catch a double bill: two thematically or otherwise linked films for the price of one ticket.
