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.
Jamal Hindawi, Palestinian, lives with his family in the Shatila refugee camp in Beirut, where he makes political theatre. When he starts a journey to search for an important lost theatre prop, he witnesses how the successive political and economic crises have disrupted an entire region and its people.
