Vikalp Films For Freedom, Mumbai and Cinema Nova, Brussels

Vikalp Films for Freedom is happy to invite you to Let It BE ! a six-day festival of Indian and Belgian documentaries and shorts from March 20 to 25.

The festival will take place at the conference hall of the National College in Bandra every evening from 6 pm onwards.

The festival is being done in collaboration with Cinema Nova of Brussels. Cinema Nova is well known in Europe as a significant space for alternative cinema. In 1997 Cinema Nova, a one screen cinema theater, opened its doors  to alternative, unconventional and challenging approaches in Cinema.
Let It BE !   brings a superb selection of Belgian independent cinema, representing a wide spectrum of film making from the experimental to the humourous to the political. Alongside internationally acclaimed films like ‘Une Part Du Ciel’ (Cannes 2002), and the work of renowned film-makers like Pascal Baes and Boris Lehman, the festival will also showcase the work of Brussels’ famous film-making ateliers where master film-makers work in collaboration with other artists and students.
Every evening’s screening will be kicked off by a new Indian documentary film from a package specially curated by Vikalp Films for Freedom for this festival.
The festival is also designed to create space for filmmakers from both sides to meet, talk, and discuss future collaborations.
In addition, the festival audience can look forward to exciting discussions with eminent Belgian film makers Boris Lehman and Benedicte Lienard, who will accompany the festival and also take part in special interactions with film makers and students.
Off-venue sessions will be held in the afternoons on the 21st, 22nd and 23rd at the popular restaurant Seijo and the Soul Dish, a few minutes away from National College. These session are designed for more intensive interactions between Indian and Belgian film makers, students, and interested members of the audience.
