Park Albert: Cinemaximiliaan movie night

As a second intervention of Park Albert, the sandbag sofa was transformed into a green island, showing the potential a partial depavement of the strip could bring to increase the biodiversity and create a form of intimacy on the strip. As a launching event of this intervention, a film projection was organised in the park together with Cinemaximiliaan.

Cinemaximiliaan screened the documentaries “Me Miss me” by Gwendolyn Lootens and Lubnan Al Wazny and “Manhattan Brussel” by Kwinten Gernay. The films tell the story of the Brussels north quarter from the perspective of a newcomer and a local legend/inhabitant boxer. The evening brought Cinemaximiliaan back to the neighbourhood where their story once started, telling stories which show the lives in the neighbourhood from two very different perspectives.
