Closing Event ‘Swinguerra’ and other highlights in May

On Saturday, May 25, we will premiere a film retrospective of Wagner & de Burca, known for their work at the Brazilian Pavilion during the 2019 Venice Biennale. Across four programmes, they will alternate their iconic work with films by Berenice Mendes and Lu Rufalco, Bob Quinn, Aloysio Raulino, and Bram Van Splunteren.
 

Bram Van Splunteren will also be joining us in Aalst to present his acclaimed hip-hop documentary Big Fun In The Big Town (1986) made with Marcel Vanthilt.
 

As part of Swinguerra, there will be a new edition of Kitchen Stories, a programme dedicated to the NW kitchen and its communal spirit, involving numerous artists, volunteers, and organisations.

We're now in the last stretch of our opening exhibitions. Don't miss out; come see them before May 26. We're open Thursday through Sunday, from 1 pm to 6 pm. On Fridays, we're open a bit longer until 7 pm, and you're welcome to hang out in the café, which stays open for the 8 pm film screening.

Once again, we're presenting a lineup of must-see films! We're not just presenting recent classics like Yorgos Lanthimos' Poor Things. You also have the chance to revisit older gems on the big screen, such as Chantal Akerman's Golden Eighties and Werner Herzog's Fitzcarraldo.

In light of the opening of the new cinema hall, the Friends of NW offer the exceptional opportunity to buy a personalised cinema seat. For 250 euros, the seat will forever bear your name, and for one year, you can enjoy it for free. First come, first served, while supplies last.
