A Parked Life

A Parked Life is an intimate portrait of Petar Bonchev, one of the hundreds of thousands of Eastern European truck drivers who work in the west.

The Benefit of the Doubt

David has a woman he loves, two lovely young children, a band of friends with whom they go on holiday. But on his return from a stay in the Vosges, he is interrogated by the police in connection with an investigation into a murder. Quickly, it is established that David, under irreproachable looks, does not have a life as smooth as what he claims. Despite the support of his best friend, Noël, and his lawyer, Marco, the doubt spreads.

What Makes You Happy

The efforts of a Belgian director who has to stick posters of his film everywhere and harass crowds to get people to come and see his film. When it turns out to be a flop, he is jobless and his partner leaves him. An ironic account of rising director Joachim La Fosse’s directing debut.

Le souffle court

In March 2020, a Brussels collective of directors began discussions on Skype with eight front-line caregivers, mobilized in the face of the Covid pandemic. As the months go by, speech becomes freer. Weakened, these workers share their commitment, their suffering, their fight. The more the wear and tear is felt, the more the film highlights a failing care system.
