A total of 19 fiction feature-film projects, ten short films, 14 documentaries and four television fictions are to receive support for their writing, development or production, for a total sum of €3,267,000, following the latest session of the Film Selection Committee of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation.

The new film by Jaco Van Dormael, Le Tout Nouveau Testament, which is currently being shot, will receive €500,000 in production support. The plot sounds intriguing: God is among us, living in Brussels. Contrary to what you might think, He’s not really a very nice guy, and his daughter, who has a grudge against Him, has decided to get her own back. This surrealistic fable boasts a somewhat incongruous cast, consisting of Benoît Poelvoorde, Catherine Deneuve and Yolande Moreau.
