The Act of Breathing offers a retrospective of 26 films selected by Monique Mbeka Phoba (23.06-31.07) and the exhibition of 10 in-situ works of art at the Asiat military base in Vilvoorde. At the same time, three other artists will meet in the 'Europa' space of Bozar in Brussels, at the exit of the CINEMATEK movie theatres. Orchestrating the narrative of the project are curators Sorana Munsya and Evelyn Simons. Living Traces, a bridging project between Kinshasa and Brussels, is articulated around various multidisciplinary artistic proposals that will be held between the two capitals between March 2022 and March 2023. The project reflects the desire of KANAL-Centre Pompidou to broaden people's perception by inviting them to discover the artistic diversity of the Congolese, Belgian and Belgian-Congolese communities.

Alice Diop: Saint Omer - La Biennale di Venezia 79 - 2022
Rama, a novelist in her thirties, attends the trial of Laurence Coly at the court of Saint-Omer. The defendant is accused of killing her 15 month-old daughter, abandoning her on a beach in northern France at the rising tide. From this story Rama would like to write a contemporary adaptation of the ancient myth of Medea. But during the course of the trial, nothing goes as planned. About to become a mother herself, ultimately, this closed session proceeding brings into relief her own relationship to motherhood.
Co-written by novelist Marie NDiaye and film editor Amrita David

Lunchtime Talk: Global Women’s Film Heritage Networking
Women’s Stories from the Global South (& To Whom They Belong)
Global Women’s Film Heritage project invites you to a networking lunch at Cinema Rediscovered. On Thursday 21 July, 12:30 – 1:30pm, we will hold an event focusing on women’s absences and presences in the global film archives. The focus will be on the work African and Arab, Latin American and Asian women have created and the way in which their inclusion in festivals, archives and scholarship can broaden and inform our understanding of feminist activist film from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.
