Composition
Wishful Filming
A playful exploration of Brussels, where political or personal messages can be found on every street corner. But amid the graffiti and stickers, secret inscriptions on notes have also been hidden by construction workers.
Far from Beyrouth
A modern correspondence unfolds between Mon Dewulf in Brussels and his partner Karim in war-torn Beirut. Dewulf uses videos, voice memos, and text messages to craft an intimate portrait of their relationship.
happiness
How does your screen time affect you in times of genocide? The figure in this desktop film sleeps poorly. Is it because of the blue light from their screens, or the constant stream of terrible news they see on them?
