Less Walls:
A Brussels Love Story
In 2023, we co-created a short documentary with director Anny Tubbs from First Move Productions.
This film serves as a “scrap book” for our creative process as community builders in Brussels, represented by an animation by Silvia Draws.
‘Less Walls’ seeks to explore the contrasts of Brussels with its inhabitants. The film follows a workshop on breaking down invisible barriers, as randomly convened participants move from clichés to more personal insights about their city.
This experience created a strong sense of cohesion between participants, representative of what happens when our methodology is in action.
