Savina Dellicour (photo), exiled for a while in London (where it's worth noting that she followed classes at the NFTS with Stephen Frears), has returned to Belgian soil for the filming of Tous les chats sont gris (la nuit). Produced solely by Tarantula with a modest budget, the film should notably bring together Bouli Lanners (currently on screens with 11.6 [+see also:

Another first film in the selection: the unclassifiable Welp, a horror movie set in a forest by Jonas Govaerts and produced by Potemkino, which supervised The Spiral adventure. As indicated by its name, Welp follows a group of boy scouts who find a tough hermit in the depths of the woods who has the firm intention of teaching them how to survive. An ambitious project, supported by a highly developed web strategy, and in particular a crowdfunding campaign aimed at raising funds to finance... cub traps.  

Also selected, Tu l’appelleras Jeanne by Anne-Marie Etienne (whose previous film, Sous le figuier [+see also:

It will be the first majority Belgian production for Scope Pictures, which was until now mostly present in the sphere of big international coproductions, thanks to the Tax Shelter (HOUBA!
