Screening of Maalbeek, a short film by Ismaël Joffroy Chandoutis, filmmaker and current Villa Albertine Resident
“This short film by Ismaël Joffroy Chandoutis has the potential to unsettle, both by the subject it tackles and by its treatment. If like me, before the screening, the title didn’t ring any bells, it’s certain that you won’t forget it anytime soon.” – SensCritique, review published June 19, 2022
