CINEMA PARENTHÈSE in collaboration with BALASSI INSTITUTE, CULTURAL SERVICE OF THE EMBASSY OF HUNGARY IN BRUSSELS, and CINÉ CLUB DE I'INSAS presents a program focused on GÁBOR BÓDY (1946–1985), one of the most outstanding and unusual personalities from the Hungarian and European cinema of the 70s and 80s – multi-sided, fascinating and dazzling. Through his films, lectures, video works, installations and tours Bódy became a universal source of inspiration and ideas among filmmakers and film lovers.

In the framework of the exhibition Mario García Torres: Illusion Brought Me Here, Cinéma Parenthèse and Wiels presents a screening of 16mm films by David Lamelas (b.1946, Argentina), a pioneering conceptual artist working also with sculpture, installations, and video.

This programme showcases three of his essential films from 1970 that, through different modes of abstraction, explore spatial and temporal dimensions of urban topographies and paradoxical performative gestures within the verbal recitation of literary texts.

CINEMA PARENTHÈSE  and WIELS is happy to present a screening of "Down Clairborne" (2018) by MOIRA TIERNEY. In the framework of the exhibition Ellen Gallagher & Edgar Cleijne: Liquid Intelligence at WIELS

Bozar and Cinema Parenthèse present two programmes with Larry Gottheim, in his presence for the first time in Belgium in 40 years. Larry Gottheim (°1936) became, together with Michael Snow and Ernie Gehr, one of the US most prominent and leading ’structural’ avant-garde filmmakers in the 1960s. From his late-1960s series of sublime 'single-shot' films to the dense sound/image constructs of the mid-1970s and after, his cinema is the cinema of presence, of observation, and of deep conscious engagement.
