Sensitive Topic

Nina Hamzeh, Mathis Albet / Belgium, Benin / 2025 / International Premiere / 23 min.


synopsis

A group of African film students decide to make a film about sexual harassment in the workplace. They want it to be a comedy, as they believe humour is a more effective way of getting a serious message across. They discuss their plans with the sister of one of the crew members, and this young feminist starts to help them create a completely different story…

“The Cinergie editors who gathered to select their prize among the Young Belgian Talents highlighted the originality of the subject, its relevance in a world where women still have to fight for respect, and the inventiveness of its treatment, awarding the prize to Sensitive Topic by Nina Hamzeh & Mathis Albet.” — The Millenium Festival
