Screenwriters, writers, and directors in Belgium do not have it easy. They often have to take risks and invest a lot of time in projects without knowing whether they will actually pay off. Their struggle and the role of the Belgian government in this matter were debated at the PRIME Professional Day during the Ostend Film Festival. Attendees included screenwriters/directors Jean-Claude van Ryckeghem (Aanrijding in Moscou, Meisjes), Christophe Van Rompaey (Aanrijding in Moscou, Vermist), Bram Renders (Jes, Kaat & Co, Los), and Felix Van Groeningen (Dagen zonder lief, De Helaasheid der Dingen), as well as Anouk Mertens (Vice President Television PRIME) and Ludo Luykx (Creative Production Manager PRIME). Several Belgian filmmakers were interviewed about this topic that day. With this video, PRIME aims to offer encouragement to Flemish directors and screenwriters.
