House of Memory / by Basil Al-RawiCinemaHouse of Memory / by Basil Al-RawiHouse of Memory /   is an immersive Virtual Reality experience by artist Basil Al-Rawi. Based on photographs and oral testimonies from the Iraq Photo Archive, he transforms archival material into a virtual space where memories can be revisited and explored.  In this 15-minute experience, you encounter personal stories of Iraq in the 1970s, as remembered by those who lived there. Through voices and images, Iraq emerges as a space of cultural richness and everyday life, shaped by memory and displacement of its people. The work offers a rare perspective on Iraqi history and diaspora experience.   Basil Al-Rawi works across photography, moving images, sculpture and digital technologies, exploring memory, identity and archival storytelling. The project was developed as part of his PhD research at the Glasgow School of Art.  House of Memory is part of Ireland's cultural programme for the Presidency of the Council of the European Union. Iraq Photo Archive Contributors: Zena Abbas, Mais Al Aloosi, Ahmed Al-Bayati, Betool Al Fekaiki, Dalia Al-Dujaili, Farid Al-Haddad, Vivian Al Haddad, Al-Rawi Family, Tamara Alattiya, Sarah Almukhtar, Maissa El-Hassany, Reem El-Hassany, Abdulkarem Hamza, Ahmed Kahatab, Rasha Kamaliddin, Helen Massoud, Idris Jassim Al-Oboudi, Shathel Nawaf Taqa, Ayah Wafi, Kifah Wafi, Muafaq Wafi.  A ticket for the exhibitions of William Kentridge, Jean Brusselmans, Edith Dekyndt x Cristóbal Balenciaga or Central.

On the rooftops of Tel Aviv, far from the war zone, Israeli soldiers hold secret conversations at night. Step by step, it becomes visible how the army and intelligence services determine who is a target, which technologies and procedures are deployed, and how many civilian casualties an attack is allowed to cost. Dozens to sometimes hundreds of Palestinian civilians can be considered an acceptable price for eliminating a single target. The film thus poses the painful question: how can the killing of innocent civilians become so normalized within a military apparatus that it is no longer viewed as a moral or legal problem? The title refers to Nezek Agavi, ‘collateral damage’, the Israeli military term for the expected number of civilian casualties from an airstrike. The term thus symbolizes the dehumanization deeply ingrained in the system: civilian deaths are not a tragic side effect, but a foreseen and accepted part of military operations. NAZA premiered at the Venice Film Festival, where the film won the Special Jury Prize.Sun 1 Nov · 19:30–20:50Cinéma Aventure · Brusselsfrom €7.80 Miss CarbónCinemaMiss CarbónBased on true events, Miss Carbón chronicles the struggle of a trans woman who defies convention on two fronts in her Chilean village.

This edition turns its focus to lived experiences of conflict and resilience in Ukraine, offering intimate perspectives on war, memory, and human connection.  Shelter, directed by Sjors Swierstra and co-directed by Ivanna Khitsinska, is a VR documentary that immerses viewers in everyday moments across Ukraine during wartime. From a maternity ward in Kyiv to a soldier's funeral in Lviv, from frontline preparations to an orchestra performing in a Kharkiv basement, the film reveals fragments of shared humanity within spaces shaped by conflict. It invites viewers to stand alongside those living through war and to reflect on its profound human cost.  Fresh Memories: The Look by Ondrej Moravec and Volodymyr Kolbasa is an immersive VR experience inspired by Marina Abramovic's The Artist Is Present. Set in war-torn Kharkiv, it invites you to look into the eyes of people who have lost their homes and places tied to memory, asking what such a silent exchange can evoke-grief, empathy, or hope.  VR Film Screening at Bozar is designed to be welcoming and accessible. Attentive guides will be on hand to ensure you have a seamless experience.  Book your tickets now and immerse yourself in a unique cinematic VR journey.Tue 10 Nov · 19:00–20:00Bozar - Centre for Fine Arts · Brussels Club KidCinemaClub KidA hard-partying New York City club promoter sees his whirlwind lifestyle upended by the arrival of the 10-year-old son he never knew he had.Wed 11 Nov · 18:50Flagey · BrusselsUntil 28 Novfrom €10.50 MinotaurCinemaMinotaurA high-powered executive's meticulously controlled existence unravels when professional crises, global chaos, and marital betrayal converge, pushing him toward a dangerous breaking point.Wed 11 Nov · 21:10Flagey · BrusselsUntil 28 Novfrom €10.50 Dentro - Elsa AmielCinemaDentro - Elsa AmielIn a high-security prison in Tuscany, inmates create a baroque and flamboyant theatre. Since 1988, men serving long sentences in Volterra have rehearsed, read and performed under the direction of Armando Punzo. Born in prison, the Compagnia della Fortezza has become one of Italy's most singular theatre companies, earning a Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale. Elsa Amiel takes us into their rehearsal room, onto the stage and on tour, staying close to the collective work of bodies, voices and imagination. Texts are read, repeated and reworked until images emerge. From words, a powerful theatre takes shape, where tragedy surfaces and blood and sweat mingle with light.Thu 12 Nov · 19:30–22:00Bozar - Centre for Fine Arts · Brussels CinéZ - Last Round (2025)CinemaCinéZ - Last Round (2025)As childhood friends André, Bart and David, all deep in their 50s, go to do odd jobs in an old bought-up farmhouse of friend Joost in Belgium, they turn out to be no longer immortal. They still effortlessly alternate heavy seriousness with talking nonsense, but with that they do not escape the fact that they are getting older. Loyalty, fate and humor as a lifeline turn out to be badly needed to face the next phase in their lives.Thu 12 Nov · 20:00–21:30GC De Zeyp · Brusselsfrom €6 La FrappeCinemaLa FrappeFollows siblings Enzo and Carla who have been on their own for several years.

In 1975, Marina Abramovic is filmed for the Dutch arts programme Beeldspraak. Her performance Thomas Lips is deemed too violent and the broadcast is cancelled. Fifty years later, Joeri Pruys, son of the programme's creator, sets out to find the missing footage. His search leads to contemporary artists who still face censorship and attempts to silence them. From Abramovic to Basma al-Sharif and Ahmet Ögüt, Final Cut asks who gets to decide which art can be seen.Fri 13 Nov · 19:30–22:15Bozar - Centre for Fine Arts · Brussels Nova '78 - Aaron Brookner & Rodrigo AreiasCinemaNova '78 - Aaron Brookner & Rodrigo AreiasAn extraordinary moment of 1970s American counterculture, shot on 16mm and unseen until today. In New York in 1978, the Nova Convention brought together a constellation of artists around writer William S. Burroughs: Patti Smith, Frank Zappa, Allen Ginsberg, Laurie Anderson, Anne Waldman and Philip Glass. Long thought lost, this footage was rediscovered and restored between 2012 and 2024, capturing an explosion of ideas and forms where poetry, music, performance and cinema collide. But Nova '78 does more than bring a legendary event back to life. Beneath the artistic ferment, the fractures of an era emerge: political fears, threats of repression and the struggles already running through American society.Fri 13 Nov · 21:15–22:40Bozar - Centre for Fine Arts · Brussels William Kentridge : Self Portrait as a Coffee PotCinemaWilliam Kentridge : Self Portrait as a Coffee PotHow does an idea become a work of art?

Episodes 1 and 9 offer two perspectives on this creative process: from experiments in the studio to a collective journey involving musicians, performers and a brass band. This screening accompanies Bozar's exhibition William Kentridge. I am not me, the horse is not mine ( till the 7th of March 2027).

In the 1970s, after the birth of her child, artist Mierle Laderman Ukeles sees domestic chores consuming her creative work. Refusing to be reduced to daily labour, she turns these alienating tasks into art. From her own home to New York's Department of Sanitation, where she becomes its first artist-in-residence, Ukeles brings invisible labour into the art world. Through previously unseen archival footage and spectacular actions, including her ballet of garbage trucks, Toby Perl Freilich brings to life a joyful and subversive body of work - and pays tribute to those who keep the world running, largely unnoticed and rarely appreciated.Sat 14 Nov · 16:30–18:10Bozar - Centre for Fine Arts · Brussels Nostalgia for the Future - Brecht DebackereCinemaNostalgia for the Future - Brecht DebackereA dive into the archive of filmmaker Chris Marker, in search of the man behind the images. Guided by Charlotte Rampling's voice, an archivist delves into the 550 boxes left behind by Chris Marker, one of France's great filmmakers and the creator of La Jetée and Sans Soleil, who always cultivated a sense of mystery around his life and identity. Photographs, personal documents and fragments of his films are brought together in an attempt to reconstruct the man behind the work. Gradually, the archive becomes a field of investigation, where Marker's films enter into dialogue and the past comes back to life. Brecht Debackere weaves together excerpts from La Jetée, Sans Soleil and other films with Marker's archive, thereby creating a journey through memory, disappearance and an ever-shifting identity.Sat 14 Nov · 19:00–20:40Bozar - Centre for Fine Arts · Brussels
