ERIK VAN LIESHOUT, BEER, 2018

What is art’s potential to change the world? Winning the prestigious Heineken Prize, awarded every two years to a Dutch artist, leads to many questions for Erik van Lieshout. The resulting film, Beer ruminates on many issues: art, ageing, money, politics, charity, diplomacy, integrity, and, of course, the many qualities, good and bad, of beer.

GWENDOLYN LOOTENS & LUBNAN AL WAZNY, ME MISS ME, 2019

Me Miss Me is an existential journey through the feelings, thoughts and desires of a young man from Iraq recently arrived in Belgium. The film is a rollercoaster of emotions through despair, resilience and [removed];Away from his home and family, Lubnan searches for his identity. What if you cannot be yourself anymore? What if your existence has become almost invisible?

LOOK AT THE IMAGES

Many fairy tales are about loneliness and the loss of your home. Däumelinchen by Lotte Reiniger from 1954 is a personal version of the fairy tale Thumbelina and is especially moving because Lotte herself had to flee her country.
WATCH THE FILM

Being at home can be a lot of fun! It’s the perfect time to play board games with your family. A better idea is to make a game yourself. For example, you can make a mikado game from sticks or a checkers game, in which you replace the pawns by cookies. Draw a memory game yourself on cardboard squares or make the game Who’s Who using your friends’ faces. Photograph your own creations and share with #WIELSfromHome.
