La trilogie de la cabane
Eric Pauwels,

With the start of Mois du Doc, the annual event that promotes Belgian documentaries in French language, Avila presents Eric Pauwels’ “La trilogie de la cabane” (“The Cabin Trilogy”): three highly original, lovingly and playfully crafted films, which span over fifteen years of the Belgian filmmaker’s work. Blending documentary and fiction, these films, like the blue garden cabin that gives the trilogy its title, form an intimate oeuvre as well as a fertile space of memory and imagination.
