4 x 7ORIGINAL TITLE / 4 X 7

PITCH / Each episode of this documentary series consists of four seven-minute shorts, shot by filmmakers ranging from well-known directors such as Pieter-Jan De Pue, Dorothée van den Berghe, Kadir Balci, Stijn Coninx, Johan Grimonprez and Nic Balthazar, to film students and upcoming talents including Karen Vázquez Guadarrama, Evy De Ceur or Lidewij Nuitten. All 48 films have one thing in common: their story needs to be told. Each director handles a subject matter close to their heart: something that intrigues, fascinates, moves, inspires or even annoys them. The result is a diverse collection of short films covering all possible formats - from portraits made with an iPhone to films shot on 16mm. Each film can be shown separately.
