If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium

Ce weekend...

Belgium nostalgia - Le Canal

We walked along it so many times when we were living in Brussels. We wrote about it briefly here. Luckily Leeds has its own Canal:

Lambic

Doel

glad someone made a film about Doel

we showed it here and here

and wrote about it here

Doel moet blijven!

Spa, the real

Manor Grunewald

Angus Fairhurst exhibition, Leuven

Docville 2010

Belgian documentary film festival takes place in Leuven 1-8 May.

Here's the website: docville.

And Youtube channel with trailers of films being shown.

The derigeur special focus is on Chinese filmmakers.

All the films being screened look interesting, the ones I'm want to try and gonna get to:

Anvil! The story of Anvil: 80s rock band that never quite made it go back on the road.

Beautiful losers: 90s skate inspired art scene.

We live in public: internet pioneer makes extreme big brother style project that goes wrong.

Herb and Dorothy: senior couple of modest means who amass huge collection of contemporary art.

You can download three of the films on the site for 4 euros each:

The end of the line: looking into the global fishing industry

Bananas at any cost: the banana trade in South America

The Biggest Chinese restaurant in the world
