Come Back at Film Festival Oostende (event)

Year: 2025

Come Back premiered as the opening film of Film Festival Ostend 2025. Having been the set photographer for the film, I was invited along with the cast for the premiere, this time to document their experience of it. Following Veerle Baetens, Billie-Louise Vlegels and Zwangere Guy (Gorik) from the red carpet to the Q&As after each screening. A continuation of the project from a different angle.
