"Comeback" is a 2025 Belgian film written and directed by brothers Jan and Raf Roosens, marking their feature film debut. The lead roles are played by Veerle Baetens, Billie-Louise Vlegels, and Zwangere Guy. Fourteen-year-old Ava has lived with her father since her parents’ divorce. Her mother, Naomi, a former successful techno DJ, suddenly reappears after years away, determined to make a comeback. She drags Ava into the nightclub scene, ignoring the disapproval of Ava’s father, Dominique, who left that world behind. As Naomi struggles to reclaim her place, Ava is pulled in too. She tries to adapt but soon finds herself torn between her parents' opposing worlds, fighting to hold on to her own identity.

Two individuals explore closeness through movement, and from this endeavour arises a play that involves risk and physical exertion, yet the pursuit of a shared rhythm motivates them to persevere.

There is a particular kind of presence that artists have when they are working, an unselfconsciousness that is almost impossible to ask for and very easy to miss. Shot across both digital and analogue mediums, these portraits try to hold that quality: Jules as he actually is, goofy and focused and entirely himself.

This is the dernière, the final performance of Zoë Demoustier's dance piece What Remains. Commissioned to document the full story of the evening, I moved both in front of and behind the stage, following the group and its dynamics from the last rehearsal to the final bow. What you see here is not just a record of a performance but a portrait of a company at the end of something: the particular atmosphere of a last night that everyone in the room knows will not come again.
