Happy to announce the second program section of Courtisane festival 2026: 𝘾𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙘𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙈𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙨! 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘤𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘔𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴 brings together a program of films that emphasize the concepts of time and space and the perception of colour in or during the projection. It is a film program that consists solely of ‘real’ films, made on or with photochemical ‘celluloid’ film.
Curated by Erwin van ’t Hart / LABO BxL, artist-run filmlab in Brussels.

Memory, history and human existence are the key elements in the work of Belgian documentarian Annik Leroy.
She invites viewers to reflect, as her films are not only about what is shown but also about what is implicit. Or, as one critic wrote about her work: "It is an invitation to look, to feel, and to explore oneself more deeply".
CINEMATEK Brussels has given Annik Leroy carte blanche to present her films in combination with those of other filmmakers. (23/10 - 30/11)

My 'quasicrystal' film #37 from 2009 will be shown in a bit less than a week, on Sunday the 21st of September at 20h30 in Cinerama 1 in Rotterdam, as part of the friendly Conflux festival.
Wat vertelt kunst ons over tijd? Fotografie is zowel stilstand als beweging, het nu bewaard voor later. Over de paradox van tijd gaat het werk van Katja Mater, nu te zien in FOMU, en de sculpturen van Brancusi, binnenkort in H’Art.
