JCVD
Dir: Mabrouk El Mechri (FR)
Curated by Tex Rubinowitz (AT/DE)
JCVD is a 2008 Belgian crime drama film directed by French Tunisian film director Mabrouk El Mechri, and starring Jean-Claude Van Damme as a semi-fictionalized version of himself. As a fading star, his family and career are crumbling around him when he is caught in the middle of a post office heist in his hometown of Brussels, Belgium.
Tex Rubinowitz lectures at the Salzburg International Summer Academy of Fine Arts in 2017.
