Guest curator short film program
At the request of Sereni and kortfilm.be, the online platform for short films in Flanders, Barbara Raes curated a short film program on the theme of covert mourning.
Short films are the medium par excellence to explore a sampling of diverse perspectives, cultures and ideas in a short time span. In this instance, Cinema acted as a gentle binding agent between grief experience, art and dialogue. The program was screened at BUDA Arts Centre (Kortrijk, 9 November 2022). Other guest curators were Maaike Neuville (Brussels, 7 November) and Sachli Gholamalizad (Antwerp, 8 November). A warm and comforting film program transformed loss and grief into themes for discussion and doubled up as a vehicle for celebrating togetherness and life.
