In November, Sereni and ONTroerd, in collaboration with Kortfilm.be, are organizing a series of (short) film screenings on loss and mourning—selected by various guest curators.

On Tuesday November 8th, the second short film screening will take place at De Cinema in Antwerp, where Sachli Gholamalizad will take on the role of guest curator.

Her programme will shine a light on intergenerational trauma: How does a child experience death? And how big are the differences from the grief experience of a (young) adult?

Sachli Gholamalizad makes theater and is an actress for film, television (De Bunker) and theater (Let Us Believe in the Cold Season), With her performances she tours internationally. Sachli also writes columns for De Standaard, among others. She was a curator of MoMu Take Over and is artist in residence at VIERNULVIER in Ghent.

They day before, the first screening will take place in Cinema Galeries in Brussels, curated by Maaike Neuville. The final event, on November 9th at Kunstencentrum BUDA in Courtrai, will be curated by Barbara Raes.

Tickets can be reserved at www.ontroerd.be. Doors open at 7 p.m. At 7.30 p.m., the films will start, lasting approx. 70 minutes. The follow-up conversation will be moderated by Joséphine Vandekerckhove.
