The Cinémathèque Festival screens around 100 films from around the world at various locations in the French capital.
Flemish cinema including Harpya by Raoul Servais will get a special focus at this year's Festival in Paris.
From 5 to 8 March 2025, lecturer Wouter Hessels presents the programme ‘Une certaine histoire du cinéma flamand’, a selection of films reflecting the diversity of Flemish film history. Wouter Hessels teaches film and media at RITCS, ULB and INSAS in Brussels.
The reason for the focus is the 70th anniversary of Les mouettes meurent au port (1955), a film noir by Flemish directors Roland Verhavert, Ivo Michiels and Rik Kuypers.
The selection covers several decades up to the creation of the Flemish Audiovisual Fund in 2002-2003 and shows both diversity in content and form.
Also on the programme:
André Delvaux's L'Homme au crâne rasé (1965), a magic-realist film based on Johan Daisne's novel, The Red Lips (1971) and Malpertuis (1972) by cult director Harry Kümel, Stijn Coninx's Daens (1992), Dorothée Van Den Berghe's Girl (2002) and Tom Barman's Any Way The Wind Blows (2003).
Two animated short films will also be screened: Harpya (1979) by Raoul Servais, winner of the Golden Palm for best short film, and A Greek Tragedy (1985) by Nicole Van Goethem, awarded an Oscar.
