From producers to actors to inspiration, many films relied on Belgium for their very existence
The nominations for Hollywood’s famous Oscar awards were announced yesterday, and Belgium had its hand in several of the movie titles you’re seeing splashed across the media today.

issus de plus de 70 pays, parmi lesquels quelques nouveaux venus, ont répondu à l’appel. LIM est un programme de formation et d’accompagnement de développement de scénario pour les premiers, deuxièmes ou troisièmes projets de long métrage. S’inspirant de la démarche méthodique du Groupe Ouest et impliquant un travail intense de huit mois, la philosophie de LIM s’articule autour de l’idée que l’introduction de limites auto-imposées à un stade précoce du processus d’écriture peut stimuler la créativité des cinéastes.

The participants in Less Is More 2021
The fifth edition of Less Is More (LIM), the European development programme for limited feature films, has announced its selection, which consists of 16 script projects and 12 Development angels. Despite these troubling times, a total of 350 applicants from more than 70 countries, including a handful of new ones from around the world, applied. LIM is a training and coaching programme dedicated to script development for first, second or third feature-film projects. Driven by Le Groupe Ouest s methodological approach and involving a very intense, eight-month-long process, LIM s philosophy is built around the idea that the introduction of self-imposed limitations early on in the writing process can lead to accelerated creativity for filmmakers.
