Presence(s): Carlos Reygadas & Natalia López Gallardo

From June 2 to June 6, 2025, Mexican filmmaker Carlos Reygadas and Bolivian editor, actress, and director Natalia López Gallardo will be hosted in Brussels by RITCS and Erasmushogeschool Brussel. Reygadas has directed five feature films – Japón (2002), Battle in Heaven (2005), Silent Light (2007), Post Tenebras Lux (2012), and Our Time (2018) – all of which were selected for or awarded at the Cannes Film Festival. Natalia López Gallardo edited and acted in several of Reygadas’ films and directed her own feature, Robe of Gems (2022), which won the Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival. This research event is a collaboration between three Belgian art schools: RITCS Brussels, KASK School of Arts Ghent, and KASKA Antwerp.

As part of the seminar program, CINEMATEK will host a complete retrospective of the contemporary works of Reygadas and López, along with a carte blanche selection curated by Carlos Reygadas.

The central location of the event will be CINEMA RITCS (Dansaertstraat 70, 1000 Brussel).
