A l'occasion de la présentation de son bilan annuel, screen.brussels a organisé une rencontre du secteur le 24 janvier dernier. Pour ce faire, c'est dans les salons de l'hôtel Métropole que s'est tenu la réception. Ce lieu, emblématique de la Capitale a accueilli de prestigieux tournages.

The famous hotel, listed since 2002, has been selected with 11 other locations for the Best Location Award by the European Film Commissions Network . The winner will be determined by the votes of the public, open until 30 November.

For its 8th session, screen.brussels has selected 11 projects, including one involving virtual reality

Strolling around Brussels this summer, you may have come across some strange-looking characters: passers-by dressed in 18th-century costumes in the Sablon district, an old-fashioned horse and carriage in Brussels Park, or you may even have seen some famous actors (Dominic West, Lily Collins and David Oyelowo) on the streets of Ixelles, Auderghem or in Cinquantenaire Park.

Series, animation, documentaries and movies for the seventh edition of screen.brussels

The screen.brussels fund has selected 11 co-production projects that showcase Brussels and its filmmaking industry. The one million euros of investment also consolidates the work of Brussels Animation Valley, with an overall expected return on spending of €8, 430, 000, i.e. 843%.

The film Hannah by Italian director Andrea Pallaoro is due for release in Belgian theatres on 14 March 2018. As well, the film will benefit from a historic première to mark the eagerly-awaited reopening of the Palace Cinema on 28 February 2018. The film’s lead actress Charlotte Rampling took the opportunity to share her impressions of our capital, one of the settings for the movie. She emphasises the importance of Brussels as an environment, as a world and as a second skin to slip into for the duration of a shoot.

At the 2017 Camerimage Festival (held in Bydgoszcz, Poland), screen.brussels, in close collaboration with Brussels Invest & Export, organised a seminar to present the Brussels audio-visual offer to Polish producers.

Van 8 tot 14 september was de cluster screen aanwezig op de “Industry Market” van het TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival), een van de grootste internationale filmevenementen.

Dat land wordt namelijk vaak gezien als de toegangspoort naar de Verenigde Staten.
