GERMAINE (GROENTEN UIT BALEN), 2011, Skyline Entertainment, 110 min. Dir. Frank van Mechelen. It's 1971 and 18-year-old Germaine (Evelien Bosmans) trudges through a typically bland existence, living at home in the small town of Balen and keeping a day job at the local supermarket. When the workers from the town factory, including Germaine's own reluctant father, decide to go on strike - which stretches on for an unanticipated three months - the citizens of Balen find their lives irrevocably changed. Based on true events. In Dutch with English subtitles. [35mm] Belgian beer reception to follow the screening.
