Thank you for proving once again that cinema is best experienced together.
See you in 2027.
A disaster. A football match. A room full of decisions.
On 29 May 1985, thirty-nine people died at the Heysel Stadium in Brussels before the European Cup Final between Juventus and Liverpool had even begun.
But HEYSEL 85, the remarkable new film by Teodora Ana Mihai, is not a film about the disaster itself.
It is a film about what happened around it.
Set in the corridors, VIP lounges, press rooms and back offices of the stadium, HEYSEL 85 follows politicians, journalists and officials as they gradually realize the scale of the tragedy unfolding around them — and begin, just as quickly, to negotiate responsibility, preserve appearances, and decide what must happen next. Should the match still be played? Who will bear the blame? And what does institutional failure sound like when heard from inside the room?
Shot in a visceral quasi-documentary style, blending archival material with fiction, HEYSEL 85 transforms one of Europe’s darkest sporting tragedies into a haunting reflection on power, responsibility and collective denial. More than forty years after the events, its questions feel disturbingly contemporary.

We’re delighted to present Jamais la nuit (Italy, 2026, 16 min), as part of today’s shorts programme. A beautiful and intimate meditation on love, memory and farewell.
Within the walls of an apartment, Gaspar and Jeanne share their final moments together. After Gaspar leaves, Jeanne is left alone with a growing sense of melancholy, the memory of what was. What follows is a delicate exploration of grief, longing, and the elusive nature of memory itself.
✨ We are especially thrilled to welcome both directors, Alberto Mangiapane and Chiara Napoleoni, who will be joining us in person for the screening.
Jamais la nuit is part of our International Shorts Programme, featuring six remarkable films from around the world exploring memory, identity, belonging and resilience.

What if the most important chapter of your life began at 50?
At 93 years old, German artist Inge Besgen looks back on a life defined not by the expectations placed upon her, but by the courage to reject them.
✨ EVERY LINE BECOMES A CIRCLE is a moving and deeply inspiring portrait of a woman who, after a lifetime of being told who she should be, decided to become who she truly was.
Through archival footage, intimate conversations and Inge’s remarkable artwork, filmmakers Lynnette Luis, Christopher Leete and Ottilie Maters trace a journey of artistic awakening, reinvention and freedom.
We’re especially delighted to welcome the filmmakers tonight, who will be joining us tonight for an introduction and post-screening discussion.
The feature will be preceded by short film:
🎬 DECISIONS (Lisa Brandt & Kira Rosendahl, Germany, 2025, 2 min)
A brief but unforgettable reflection on the single courageous decision that changed one woman’s life forever.

Tomorrow at 19:00, we’re proud to present the World Premiere of Normal (France, 2026, 10 min) as part of our Shorts Programme.
Directed by Lara Panah-Izadi, Normal tells the story of a hypersensitive man who experiences every emotion with overwhelming intensity. In an attempt to protect himself from the violence of his own feelings, he begins to shield himself from the world - risking the loss of everything that truly moves him.
At once poignant, playful and deeply human, Normal explores what it means to feel too much in a world that often asks us to feel less.
