MiscDiscovery of Brasserie de la Senne in EnglishAt the beginning of the 20th century in Brussels, there were still about a hundred breweries. After the world wars, industrialisation and the formalisation of tastes, there was only one left until Bernard met Yvan in 2002. Together they create the Brasserie de La Senne. Formatted and sweet beers give way to bitterness. Today installed in 4500 m² on the Tour & Taxis site, they have put technology at the service of their beers. During this visit, you will have access to the production area. An opportunity to discover how craft beer is made in such impressive production facilities. Finally we will end the tour with a commented tasting of four major beers of the brewery.Sun 1 Nov · 13:00Brasserie de La Senne · BrusselsUntil 20 Decfrom €20

CinemaExpat cinema : NAZANAZA by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, two of the makers of the Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land, is a revealing film about the systems behind the large-scale civilian casualties in Gaza. 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 · 16:10Cinema Galeries · Brusselsfrom €7.80
CinemaThe Only Living Pickpocket in New YorkThe Only Living Pickpocket in New York is a stylish crime film and a tender, melancholic ode to a changing New York. Set against the city’s iconic streets, with an atmospheric soundtrack and an impressive cast including John Turturro, Giancarlo Esposito, Steve Buscemi and Jamie Lee Curtis, Noah Segan paints a world where old habits and faded glory are increasingly under pressure. Harry Lehman (John Turturro) is an old-school pickpocket in a time when his profession is slowly dying out. Still, he keeps stealing to make ends meet and to care for his seriously ill wife, Rosie. When what seems like a simple theft unexpectedly brings him something of great value, Harry becomes entangled in a dangerous web of criminals. What follows is a nerve-racking race through the streets of New York, as Harry must rely on his old-school skills, his network and his instincts to save himself and get his stolen goods back. With suspense, dry humor, melancholy and a sharp eye for the city, The Only Living Pickpocket in New York tells a story about loyalty, faded glory and what remains when the world around you changes forever.Sun 1 Nov · 17:50Cinéma Aventure · BrusselsUntil 3 Nov

CinemaNova '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

TheatreEvita 50The world-famous musical Evita is 50 years old and that is being celebrated in style! Experience the magnificent masterpiece in this musical performance as it was intended: sung in English by top soloists Vajèn van den Bosch (Eva Péron) and Milan van Waardenburg (Che Guevara). They are accompanied by a thirty-piece orchestra and a large choir on stage. The remaining roles will be announced at a later date. The legendary duo Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber released the concept album Evita in November 1976, which naturally included the song that became a global hit overnight: ‘Don’t Cry For Me Argentina’. In the Netherlands, too, the hit spent no fewer than ten weeks at number one in the Top 40. Thus, the musical about the life of the famous Argentine actress and first lady Eva Péron became one of the most beloved musicals of all time. To celebrate this golden jubilee, Albert Verlinde and Huub van den Heuvel, with House of Entertainment and in close cooperation with LW Entertainment, present this unique tour which can be seen in only nine theaters.Fri 13 Nov · 20:00Stadsschouwburg AntwerpenUntil 15 Novfrom €49
TheatreEnglish Comedy Double Bill | Namaste B*tches + Indian Auntie Goes DatingOne's looking for enlightenment. The other's looking for a decent connection. They both have one thing in common: both are praying for a miracle!
Join Kym Nelson and Mohna Joshi for two wildly different solo comedy shows, featuring the WORLD PREMIERE of Namaste B*ches... I'm Back! alongside Mohna's festival-tested (WIP) Indian Auntie Goes Dating.
About the shows:
Namaste B*tches... I'm Back! The yoga industry's worst nightmare returns! Former yoga teacher-turned-comedian Kym Nelson is back on the mat. This time, she's come to make peace with yoga. There's just one problem. Has the yoga industry forgiven her for Namaste Blisters? With familiar faces, outrageous new characters and more spiritual nonsense than you can shake an incense stick at, Kym takes another hilarious look at yoga, wellness and those who take it all far too seriously. Expect larger-than-life characters, audience participation and a few uncomfortable positions. Because forgiveness is divine. But holding a grudge is apparently very yogic!
Second half of the night:
Amsterdam-based English stand-up comedian Mohna Joshi shares her hilarious experiences of starting over in a foreign country at 50+, navigating the dating scene for the first time and tackling the unpredictable challenges of expat life. Through personal stories and plenty of laughs, she discovers that life doesn't slow down with age. If anything, it gets bolder!

CinemaThe Moment (2026)After a brat summer in which Charli XCX populated Instagram feeds with her album and took over everyone's AirPods, her biggest challenge turns out not to be success itself, but holding onto it. In The Moment she plays an exaggerated version of herself: a pop star who gets entangled in the expectations of the public, record label, and her own perfectionism. What begins as an ironic look at the machine behind the mega-star derails into a claustrophobic nightmare in which artist, alter ego, and marketing construct increasingly coincide with one another.
With this refreshing take on the concert film, Aidan Zamiri Charli translates stroboscopic concert aesthetics into film language. His delightfully unhinged satire of celebrity culture is a Russian roulette of flashing lights, hyped-up concert footage, and a hefty dose of self-deprecation. At the same time, this baroque behind-the-scenes asks how artists stay afloat in an ecosystem that always wants more, until the hype shifts to something new yet again.Thu 5 Nov · 20:30–22:30KASKcinema · Ghentfrom €4

Een eenvoudige vraag. Tot je er echt over begint na te denken...
Carlo mijmert graag over de oorsprong van dingen. Soms iets te lang, en soms iets te veel. Tot op een
punt waarop hij zich begon af te vragen waarom hij eigenlijk op een podium wil staan als mentalist.
Hierin zag hij meteen het onderwerp van zijn eerste voorstelling.

Deze's entertaining crime film is an ode to the genre, to the city of New York, to changing times, and to the wonderful acting talent of John Turturro (The Big Lebowski, Do the Right Thing). Critics are unanimous: it is one of Turturro's best roles ever. Add to that a fantastic ensemble cast including Steve Buscemi (Reservoir Dogs, Fargo) and Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad) and you know that director Noah Segan has made a gem that no thief could resist. A film thoroughly imbued in a good way with a touch of nostalgia for the analog past, not only with the seasoned pickpocket Harry, but also with the old-school police officer Warren, and perhaps also with the audience.Tue 3 Nov · 20:00Cinema ZED Scheepvaartkaai 16 HasseltUntil 10 Novfrom €10
CinemaWild Horse NineShortly before the coup in Chile in 1973, CIA agents Chris (John Malkovich) and Lee (Sam Rockwell) are sent to Easter Island by their boss MJ (Steve Buscemi). They are confronted with their dark past. Wanneer Chris builds a bond with two rebellious students, threatening to completely turn their stay upside down.
A pitch-black, absurd, and at times surprisingly touching trip to the end of the world. Na Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri and The Banshees of Inisherin, Martin McDonagh returns with his signature mix of razor-sharp dialogue, black humor, and clashing characters. Behind the absurdist buddy comedy hides this time a dark story about guilt, responsibility, and American interference in Chilean history. John Malkovich (Being John Malkovich) and Sam Rockwell (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri) form a wonderful duo, alongside Steve Buscemi (Fargo), Parker Posey (The White Lotus) and Tom Waits.Wed 4 Nov · 17:45Budascoop · KortrijkUntil 1 Decfrom €10

Na the acclaimed Booksmart (2019) and Don't Worry Darling (2022), Olivia Wilde brings a small-scale yet razor-sharp relationship comedy. This remake of the 2020 Spanish film Sentimental is a wild ride from start to finish, with delightful performances by Wilde herself, Penélope Cruz, Edward Norton, and Seth Rogen. An intelligent balancing act between the tragedy of serious relationship problems and biting, dialogue-driven humor, all packaged in one evening in a single apartment with just four characters.Sun 8 Nov · 17:00Cinema ZED Scheepvaartkaai 16 HasseltUntil 20 Novfrom €10

The Conversation, the film Coppola made between The Godfather and The Godfather II, dates from the Watergate period, when the Verenigde Staten were shaken by scandals surrounding espionage, wiretapping, intrigues, and abuse of power. This paranoid thriller is therefore not only a great character study, but also a valuable historical document. Gene Hackman is brilliant as the understated gray mouse struggling with his conscience. A lesser-known, but extremely intriguing gem by Francis Ford Coppola.

Frank Herbert's book was considered by many to be unfilmable, especially after none other than David Lynch made a mess of it in 1984. Voor Villeneuve it was an ultimate boyhood dream to be allowed to film Dune.
