Cinema Trottoir Film Festival 2022

Cinemaximiliaan is excited to announce its first film festival Cinema Trottoir ! Starting on July 30th, you can join us for eight Saturday evenings of food and film. Every screening will involve a communal dinner at 8pm, followed by a film at 9:30 pm, projected on the façade of our building at Manchesterstraat 36 in Molenbeek.  

The focus of Cinema Trottoir is to celebrate newcomer directors in Belgium and to share stories of the newcomer experience. We are pleased to present an eclectic selection of eight films curated by Rola Zamzameh. You will also have an opportunity to meet the directors of the films at every event.

The festival will be a minimum waste event, and will operate on a free choice payment of 5€, 10€, or 25€.
