Behind Me I Cast All My Scares

Six international directors – under scenario guidance from Jaco Van Dormael and Sulaiman Addonia – created their own interpretations of the theme of solitude and then filmed their stories in a variety of ways. In addition to the recurring theme, all the films share the same format. Always in 4:3, black & white and without dialogue, but invariably with a unique and quirky take on the subject.

The Brussels musical duo Simon Ho and Hannibal Saad were inspired by six silent films to compose a series of unique musical interpretations together with a diverse team of musicians. Instruments, sounds and voices meet, taking the audience on a magical journey.

The musicians: Simon Ho – piano, Hannibal Saad – guitar, Teuk Henry – guitar, Juliette Lacroix – cello, Yamen Martini – trumpet, Hussein Rassim- Oud, Milad Mohammadi – tar, Marah Kewifati – cello, Amele Metlini – violin, Mostapha Taleb – kamence, Carlo Strazzante – percussion, Ali Shaker – quanoun, Amel Sdiri – vocal
