Two screenings, one on the 4th of October (first screening in HDCam) and another one on the 5th of October. We're in the "Regards du Présent" selection. We'd be very happy to meet you there!

SOMEWHERE BETWEEN HERE AND NOW: Review
(...) Now, if you're looking for a slam-bang action movie, or a moving love story, then you shouldn't look here. Somewhere Between Here and Now is really a meditation on loneliness and looking for something to fill the empty space in yourself...and in the end, it seems that the only person who can fill that space is you. I'm giving Somewhere Between Here and Now three out of four cigars, it's a little slow, but it's a warm, nice movie.

Review of Olivier Boonjing's SOMEWHERE BETWEEN HERE AND NOW
It’s not often one ponders the space between here and now, but in this fascinating film it seems to be: the Here is Brussels, home to the action, and the Now is how the Here is perceived by a group of young and emotionally distraught travelers. Put another way, Somewhere Between Here And Now (SBHN) is a desperately empty place, full of solitary histories, no futures and bulging backpacks. Lonely Planet, indeed.
(...) Granted, not a scintillating outline of heavy action, but this is one of those auteur efforts that represents the vision of one clever guy – Olivier Boonjing – who wrote, directed, produced, shot and edited the movie. (...)
(...) No, Boonjing’s best claim to fame in this here and now is the brilliant cinematography. From the opening montage of verité Asian scenes to the formal architectural symmetries of Brussels, Boonjing offers up a dazzling array of visual delights – both by day and night – as he effortlessly tracks the obsessive movements of his young and restless characters in their vain searches for themselves. (...)
(...) SBHN is well cast, with the camera loving the sensual face of Lucie Debay, and Arieh Worthalter plays a very convincing loser, torn between the anonymity of the road and his attraction to this unstable blonde with the big packsack. (...)
(...) Somewhere Between Here And Now. Cool name, and a cool flick. Here has been around for a long time. Now’s the moment. Boonjing shows us that “somewhere between” is a mindscape that maps out your motivations. If you get the chance, take this journey.

Objet flottant doucement identifié
(...) Modeste et simple, Somewhere between réussit peut-être à toucher et émouvoir parce qu’il assume clairement ses ambitions, son propos et ses fragilités. Peut-être aussi qu’il creuse, sans vouloir les résoudre, quelques-unes des questions qui hantent notre époque. (...)
(...) Si le film ne manque ni d’humour (des personnages croqués avec délices comme cet ex-chauffeur de taxi) ni d’inventivité (pas un seul champ contre-champ, ou presque), que ses comédiens sont beaux de tous leurs non-dits, et qu’ils éclairent la nuit du film d’une certaine innocence (Lucie Debay et Arieh Worthalter), que certains plans sont d’une grande justesse (ces trouées de lumière dans la nuit ou cette aube au matin près d’un canal), le film d’errance urbaine est désormais un genre à part entière depuis qu’un pan du cinéma américain des années 80 et quelques grands noms en ont fait leur marque de fabrique (Jarmush, Wenders…).
Là où Somewhere between here and now fait mouche, c’est qu’il évite justement, de trop se référer à ces grands noms sans pour autant ignorer leur héritage. (...)
