Film marathon

In the tradition of the old neighborhood cinemas, we show no fewer than 3 films in a row. Between the films, you enjoy a sandwich lunch and a snack with which you effortlessly make it to the end of the marathon. Zware jongens | Robbe De Hert 10:00 am | 104 min Gaston grew up on the edge of society and interacts as little as possible with other people. Leo, on the other hand, is a very bourgeois person. He lives far above his means, but has a heart of gold. Through the use of forged checks and uncovered credit cards, he tries to keep up appearances. By chance, Gaston's fate is linked to that of Leo. ‘Zware jongens’ is a Flemish comedy film that was directed by Robbe De Hert (De Witte van Sichem, Lijmen/Het Been). The lead roles are played by Gaston Berghmans and Leo Martin. Radioman | Frank Van Passel 12:40 pm | 120 min May 1940. Terwijl Europa is on the brink of war, the paths of Elza, a young actress who takes her first steps in the radio drama studios, and Berre, a beginning sound engineer with an almost magical hearing, cross in the iconic Flagey building in Brussels - from which the national radio broadcasts. Their meeting ignites a spark and lets them rise above themselves. But will love alone be enough when the storm breaks loose? Frank Van Passel (Manneken Pis, Villa des roses) tells with ‘Radioman’ a compelling love story about passion, imagination, and the search for empathy and humanity in dark times. Although the film takes place on the eve of the Tweede Wereldoorlog, the positive and hopeful atmosphere is palpable. About all of famous Flanders passes in review in this magical ode to the radio world, but it is especially young talents Jef Hellemans and Femke Vanhove who steal the show as the central, in-love duo. Song Sung Blue | Craig Brewer 3:00 pm | 132 min Mike and Claire meet for the first time during a performance where semi-amateurs stand on stage to imitate legends like Elvis of Buddy Holly. They have a lot in common: both divorced with children, both from Milwaukee, and they both struggle to make ends meet. But above all, they share a huge dream to make their passion their profession. As big fans of Neil Diamond, they decide to start a Neil Diamond tribute band together, called Lightning & Thunder. The band has success, until fate strikes. The pleasure of Hugh Jackman (The Greatest Showman) and Kate Hudson (Almost Famous) splashes off the screen in this musical biopic about the real couple Mike and Claire Sardina, whom director Craig Brewster got to know via the documentary of the same name. The love for music and for each other is the beating heart of this heartwarming film that, without any sarcasm, brings an ode to passionate dreamers.
