It's 1984. Computer nerds gather in a cheap hotel where they compete against each other with self-written programs in a computer chess tournament. However, they have to share the room with a religious sect. Bujalski effortlessly breaks the rules of the fly-on-the-wall documentary, shot with an old video camera. Put on your biggest eighties glasses for this delightfully dry-humorous and bizarre film.

18.06 > 31.08
Director Rosa von Praunheim, who passed away last December, leaves behind an oeuvre of more than 150 films. This summer, the Goethe-Institut Brüssel and CINEMATEK present, through a selection of some twenty works, the filmography of the quintessential camp and q***r filmmaker of the New German Cinema, whose work has been screened too infrequently in Belgium.

Deliberately in black and white, Tim Burton, evokes an admired predecessor, king of the pulp and father of an almost endless series of Z-films, Ed Wood. With humor, melancholy and an eye for outsider talent, the film celebrates failure as an engine of imagination and pure cinephile passion.

Cinema'KET : CINEMATEK ’s program for young cinephiles
A successful Hollywood director is tired of making only lighthearted comedies and decides it is time for a profound masterpiece about poverty and human suffering. The only problem: he has never known real problems in life. So, disguised as a drifter, he sets out into the world to discover the harsh reality of “real life.”

Happy International Archive Day!
As you know CINEMATEK is much more than a cinema. Conserving, restoring, and sharing our film heritage is our most important mission. As a film archive, we not only preserve films in digital and analogue formats, but also books, magazines, posters, photographs, documents, projectors, objects, and so on.
