Programme
JUNE + JULI + AUGUST
Born in Brooklyn in 1969, Darren Aronofsky is an American director, screenwriter, and producer known for his psychologically intense, enigmatic, and unsettling films. With his debut feature, he established himself as the "wunderkind" of the vibrant, original, and daring 1990s New York independent cinema scene, before moving on to Hollywood blockbusters for more ambitious projects.
Born in Brooklyn in 1969, Darren Aronofsky is an American director, screenwriter, and producer known for his psychologically intense, enigmatic, and unsettling films. With his debut feature, he established himself as the "wunderkind" of the vibrant, original, and daring 1990s New York independent cinema scene, before moving on to Hollywood blockbusters for more ambitious projects. This retrospective is accompanied by a curated "carte blanche" selection from Aronofsky, featuring films that have had a notable influence on his own work.
Passing away last December, director Rosa von Praunheim leaves behind a body of work comprising over 150 films. This summer, the Goethe-Institut and CINEMATEK invite you to explore the filmography of the most camp and queer filmmaker of the New German Cinema, through a selection of twenty works that have been far too rarely shown in Belgium.
In the history of cinema, the journalist has proven to be a tailor-made character: whether as a guardian of democracy or a relentless paparazzi, an idealistic crusader or a manipulator of truth. This cycle explores how films have represented and analyzed journalism, from 1930s Hollywood comedies to more recent, kitschy, and self-critical fictions. Audiences are invited not only to be carried away by often breathless narratives but also to take a critical look at the role of the media in society.
To mark the release of the Golden Eighties single and the screening of the film’s newly restored version (17.06), we invited American filmmaker Andrew Bujalski, former student of Chantal Akerman and director of the iconic Computer Chess, to curate a carte blanche program inspired by Golden Eighties.
CINEMATEK is delighted to breathe new life into the films of the Fleischer brothers, the brilliant creators of Betty Boop and Popeye, and invites you to discover Out of the Inkwell, their remarkable debut series, in new 4K restorations this summer.
CLASSICS is a collection of milestones and masterpieces featuring iconic figures both in front of and behind the camera. These are touchstones in cinema. While one might debate their specific qualities, there’s no arguing that they have become integral to our cultural heritage. As a collection, they do more than serve as examples or set standards—they facilitate a broader dialogue about cinema.
The film archive is bursting with films that rarely make it into programming for various reasons. Not every film, no matter how deserving, is considered a "classic" or easily fit into a specific theme. That’s why, alongside our thematic cycles, we also select a somewhat random assortment of films to be presented without additional commentary or context under the label FREE ANTHOLOGY.
THE SILVER SCREEN series revisits popular cinema from the 1930s to the 1980s. Classics from around the world, bringing back those unforgettable scenes where actors and actresses of the time lit up the screen. Cinema as it should always be experienced: sound and image projected on film and shown on the big screen, in a comfortable theater. And – if the film’s length allows – with a carefully selected pre-show: a trailer, a cartoon, a newsreel, or a documentary, recreating the movie-going experience of the past.
From the darkest corners of CINEMATEK's collection, we've unearthed a selection just for you: hilarious B-movies, spine-chilling thrillers, gripping cop dramas, giallo, slashers, blaxploitation, and other films with a unique edge. This is a must-see slice of alternative film history. Every last Friday of the month, catch a double bill: two thematically or otherwise linked films for the price of one ticket.
Lectures, introductions, workshops... All year round, CINEMATEK helps you discover the 7th art by calling on film-makers or specialists to come and share their knowledge and passion for cinema in our cinemas.
