🇧🇪 Julie Keeps Quiet is Belgian Oscar entry 🇧🇪
Julie Keeps Quiet, Leonardo van Dijl's feature debut, is the official Belgian entry for the Academy Awards. The Belgian jury selected the film to compete for the coveted statuette for Best International Feature Film.
Julie Keeps Quiet tells the story of a talented young tennis player, whose life is entirely dedicated to sport. When her coach, who took her to the top, is suddenly suspended, their club launches an investigation. All the players are asked to share their experiences, but Julie remains silent.
Julie Keeps Quiet had its world premiere at the Semaine de la Critique in Cannes in May, where it won three awards. Since then, Julie Keeps Quiet has also been invited to the Karlovy Vary, Melbourne, and Sarajevo film festivals, and appeared in Poland's New Horizons festival. Last week, the film had its North American premiere at the Toronto film festival. The forthcoming London and Hamburg film festivals will also screen Julie Keeps Quiet, while closer to home it has been shortlisted for the European Film Awards and will have its Belgian premiere at Film Fest Gent.
