**Cinematek : Lost in La Mancha** 13/05 @ 19h **This compelling fly-on-the-wall study, hilarious and heartbreaking at once, shows poor Mr Gilliam’s visionary project disintegrating like a slow-motion car crash** [...] Their compelling fly-on-the-wall study, hilarious and heartbreaking at once, shows poor Mr Gilliam’s visionary project disintegrating like a slow-motion car crash. The double hernia and slipped disc that zonked his lead actor, Jean Rochefort, the flash floods that swept away his camera equipment, the overhead Nato jets which wrecked his soundtrack, the actors who didn’t show up, and finally, the implacable money-men who declared that the star’s indisposition was not covered by insurance as it was an Act of God. The Act of a furious Old Testament God with a serious grudge against Terry Gilliam. Perhaps He had seen The Adventures of Baron Munchausen and had decided enough was enough. Anyway: the film’s French producer, René Cleitman, elegantly summarises the situation for a gobsmacked audience of crew and investors: “This shows us the fragility of Jean Rochefort and the fragility of cinema itself.” Nicely put, though this verbal flourish seemed not to impress everyone assembled, who wore the stunned faces of people who were about to not get paid – in a very big way. Les Blank’s Burden of Dreams has its Fitzcarraldo; Fax Bahr and Eleanor Coppola’s Hearts of Darkness has its Apocalypse Now. But Lost in La Mancha has zilch. It’s the ultimate evolutionary form of the movie-madness documentary genre. A footnote to a text that isn’t there. A documentary about a legendary film that doesn’t exist. A legendary film whose legendariness must reside purely in the documentary, which shows what it can salvage from the dailies, and the on-location footage of producers, directors and crew hollering at each other. It is a pleasingly post-modern twist which Cervantes himself would have enjoyed, having written a book about absurd follies, delusions of grandeur and the deficit between fiction and reality. And then of course there is Gilliam himself: a Quixotic figure if ever there was one, though shrewdly, Fulton and Pepe don’t labour the point. The director is excruciatingly aware of the parallel, being, as he tells us, 61 years old (though a very handsome and rangy 61) and modestly declaring himself not yet to have accomplished enough in his lifetime. The idea of a Quixote movie had already consumed Orson Welles, but why shouldn’t Gilliam take it on and slay the dragon of ill-omen? No one mentions the Titanic parallel, an idea thought to be jinxed after Lew Grade produced his awful Raise the Titanic in 1980, yet James Cameron had a multi-Oscar triumph with the old boat 17 years later. Unlike Gilliam’s Quixote, however, Titanic had serious Hollywood cash behind it, and no one involved is in the mood to make a zany indie movie about the scary and unfunny near-catastrophes that attended that project. What is fascinating about Lost in La Mancha is the psychological phenomenon of denial. Everyone, from Terry Gilliam down to the lumpy, monobrowed extras Gilliam has found to play his giants, are in denial about what is happening. Everyone is determinedly looking the other way. Everyone is pretending that the movie will happen. Yet why shouldn’t they? The cast and crew have probably been in precisely this sort of denial for every picture they have ever worked on – and somehow the movies get made, when every tenet of common sense and financial logic declares that they can’t, like the principles of aerodynamics that prove that a bumble-bee can’t fly. Being in denial is a vital part of maintaining morale, momentum and keeping the financing house of cards upright.

Need some quiet time for reading? Want to share the experience with others? Join us at the charming venue of The Sister Café to read in the company of others. It’s alone, but also together, get it? We read for an hour and a half, then chat over a drink. This is a free activity except for the price of the drinks you're consuming.

. Find us on Facebook to see what's actually happening. Bring your own knitting or crochet project and join other people who enjoy yarn crafts for a relaxing couple of hours on Saturday afternoons. The 1st Saturday of the month is not an in-person meet-up, but on zoom. All people and all levels welcome, including beginners, whom we are happy to help get started (although we don't run classes). No charge. All you need is some yarn and a crochet hook or a pair of knitting needles. We are very friendly so don't be shy. The venue may change from time to time so please check back on the day before the event to be sure you have it right. We mostly speak English, but people in the group are very international and speak many languages. Looking forward to seeing you.

Meet and make new Friends after work.

Hi everyone, This coffee morning event is @MIR Concept Coffee Store! Saturday, 16 May 2026, from 10:00 - 13:00. MIR opened its doors 4 years ago, right off Place Jourdan. Doriana, the owner, is a super nice host, and is excited to have our group as her café. The café is very beautiful and has great coffee, and many yummy food options. Their Instagram channel: https://www.instagram.com/mirconceptstore/ **The address is:** MIR Concept Coffee Store Rue Gray 4A 1040 Etterbeek *** 1. The **prime time** of the event is **10:30 - 12:30**. That's when most people will be there. 2. When you enter the gallery, it's either on the right-hand side or left-hand side of its hallway, depending which entrance you take. 3. If you intend **to join past 12:00** (high noon), then there is no need to register. Just come and join! 4. **DON'T forget to cancel** if you can't join! 5. **Please, be respectful towards each other during the event. (And after ;))** **As always, feel free to follow us on INSTAGRAM!** [https://instagram.com/weekendmorningcoffee?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA==](https://instagram.com/weekendmorningcoffee?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA==) **THE STRUCTURE of THE EVENT:** * I will post the event on Saturday/Sunday evening for the following Saturday. * I send out a reminder to everyone on Friday. * There is sometimes a waiting list. * In case RSVP is closed (once there are 10-15 people on the waiting list), I might reopen it on Friday, depending on the number of cancellations in the meantime. * **For everyone on the waiting,** please check your status and messages on Friday evening the latest. I message everyone on the waiting list on Friday. * **Please, move to "not going" AS SOON AS you know that you can't come anymore, that includes everyone who is on the waiting list.** **IMPORTANT:** * **Please, be respectful towards each other during the event. (And after ;))** * When you register yourself, be careful not to register accidentally a +1 guest (unless you bring a guest). It happens very often. * If you have any questions then, message me. *** **A MESSAGE FOR NEWCOMERS:** *In the three years of hosting this coffee group, I have met many people who struggle with anxieties when coming to an event for the first time. Sometimes, it took them more than one attempt before being able to join.* *Occasionally, people reach out to me before the event, and I have always been grateful for that as it offers the opportunity to communicate with each other and to find the best and most gentle way for that person to join the group.* *I would like to encourage everyone who struggles with this to contact me before. It would really be too bad if you can't join us, as it mostly gets better the second or third time you come.* *In addition to that, if you arrive and notice any signs of nervousness or fear, you can always let me know right then.* **THANK YOU AND SEE YOU ALL ON Saturday!**

**Cinema Palace : Everything is temporary** 14/05 @ 19h00 En août 2020, la cinéaste Juliette Klinke embarque pour le Myanmar, un pays dont elle ne connaît pratiquement rien, pour rejoindre son compagnon. Alors que le Covid-19 ronge le pays comme le reste du globe, elle trouve refuge auprès de la famille de Zu Zu, une jeune fille de 17 ans qui n’attend que la réouverture des universités pour réaliser son rêve de devenir agente de police et servir sa communauté. Avec des moyens rudimentaires, la réalisatrice capture la naissance de cette amitié improbable avec tendresse et humilité. Alors que la crise sanitaire bat son plein, enfermant la population entre quatre murs, voilà qu’un violent coup d’État orchestré par la junte militaire vient abattre un nouveau fléau. Ce qui se profilait jusqu’alors comme le recueil cinématographique et intime d’une connexion humaine prend alors une toute autre ampleur… Les mots comme les gestes de Zu Zu, immortalisés par le regard affectueux de la cinéaste, sont autant de témoignages des craintes et des espoirs d’une génération lucide et bien décidée à bousculer les certitudes. James Berclaz-Lewis [Cinema Palace](https://cinema-palace.be/en/events/be-curious-everything-temporary) [Visions du Réel](https://www.visionsdureel.ch/film/2024/everything-is-temporary/) **For Dreamers, Coffee shots, Orezza, eau de Saint-Georges !**
