Fat Cat

"Music is a vital factor in our cinematic universe. Music is truly part of the scenery at Fat Cat. Wilf Plum, our composer, fed our imagination by composing bits and pieces of music that we used in that universe. Tonight he’s playing with his former band, Les Agents de West Hell 5, together with Miss Whips. Dj’s lr. Vandermeulen (Amsterdam Beat Club) and Waikiki Wilf will continue the great tunes in the foyer.
Expect yourself to the finest Rock ‘n Roll and Burlesque music and be prepared for a flaming hot night!"

Brussels, always a building site, always something to demolish, as if it were a kind
of sport.

At the Fat Cat, a night club, a burglary is being prepared; to retrieve a video tape
and some documents from a safe.

A phone call ; the job is on hold.

Enzo, a safecracker with magic fingers, can’t do anything except stay, wait and see
finally that no, it’s not the jackpot...

The improvisational band R.O.T. performs on selected films, with Brussels as a binding backdrop. Expect short movies from the filmmakers, a live soundtrack, records handpicked by Wilf Plum, an expo of the production drawings by Alain Roch and other delicious surprises.

"For Fat Cat, we were influenced by a lot of American ’film noirs’ of the 40’s, especially Dark Passage by Delmer Daves. Other inspiration we got closer to home. The movie Bruxelles-Transit really made it evident of the photographic mysterious vibe that Brussels has to offer."

A Polish-Jewish family is settling in in Brussels. In a mixture of French and Yiddish this movie tells the story of a Polish-Jewish family settling in Brussels to never leave it. The movie that best captivates the unique feel of the Midi neighbourhood.

Introduction by the lead actor, Boris Lehman.
