Breedbeeld – No Film School

At BREEDBEELD, our mission is to present a cross-section of what’s being created in the world of short film. In doing so, we also aim to draw attention to filmmakers who are not enrolled in a professional film program. In this “No Film School” section, we provide a platform for filmmakers who have created their work in their spare time or are enrolled in an evening program.

JE T’AIME! (Baron Raevens, 6′)
Bone loves Jeanne and decides to declare his love to her in a lyrical tirade. Jeanne loves him too, and that’s exactly the problem. Afraid of that love, she shoots him. But even wounded, Bone carries on with his declaration of love.

AURA (Laura Golsteyn, 2′)
This mixed-media film makes tangible the aura that precedes my migraines.

VERGEEF WAT ME ONTNOMEN WERD (Daan Coucke, 7′)
Despite his mother’s neglect, a boy tries to keep their bond alive. While they each experience their relationship differently, he keeps making an effort. Until he realises his efforts change nothing and decides to let go.

COMPLOT IN NAPELS (Jan Melkebeek, 18′)
After his son is kidnapped, mafia boss Don Calderone summons his band of henchmen for an emergency meeting. Personal tensions and feuds are everywhere. As the evening wears on, things go from bad to worse.

TIJD (Herman Huys, 3′)
The present slowly fades. Yesterday draws closer. Time becomes a narrow corridor. A narrow corridor from tomorrow to yesterday.

SPOORLOOS (Loic Dillen & de studenten van Syntra, 10′)
After a traumatic event, Nina tries to get her paralysing fear of trains under control. When her retired neighbour Albert helps her out, an unexpected bond develops. Together they try to get a grip on a past that Nina just can’t let go of.

WHAT ARE WE WITH THIS? (Andy Chen, 11′)
A conversation with my parents. About everything and nothing. About how we see ourselves and each other. About differing expectations. About representation.
