Lukas Dhont Instagram – 13-year-old me, camera in hand, is jumping up and down screaming in his bedroom! For a long time I thought of cinema as a possibility to escape reality, a place to completely disappear. But fellow Belgian filmmaker Chantal Akerman showed me it could also become a space to confront the expectations, codes and roles assigned to me as a teenager. I couldn’t be more grateful that this piece about that fragile age is celebrated to this extent. I am grateful to @theacademy, @a24 and everyone who was with us on the journey of making CLOSE. ❤️ | Posted on 25/Jan/2023 00:05:50
