Inspired by her own poetry, she is now striking out on her own as a solo artist. Her music is characterised by warm folk-pop blended with captivating vocals, as heard in the track ‘Girls’, in which she shares a empowering vision of femininity. Her debut album ‘Wild Love’ is a powerful blend of guitar riffs, compelling melodies and a voice that immediately captures your attention.

Maghreb Film Festival: The Ants
De Balie, Sunday, November 1 at 04:30 PM GMT+1
At the border between Morocco and Spain, near Melilla, the lives of three people become intertwined. Félicité, a young migrant from Cameroon, returns to Tangier after the tragic death of her friend, determined to earn enough money to give her a Christian burial. Hamid, a recruiter who makes a living exploiting migrant workers, sees his own carefully constructed world begin to fall apart. Meanwhile, Kenza, a wealthy young mother, hires Félicité as a nanny against her husband’s wishes, setting off tensions within her marriage.
Through these three interconnected stories, Fennane portrays a Morocco shaped by migration, economic inequality and social divisions. Rather than reducing migration to a story of borders and displacement, The Ants follows the people caught within these systems: their ambitions, compromises, prejudices and attempts to find a way forward.
With a restrained, socially grounded approach, Fennane brings together three very different perspectives on contemporary Morocco. The result is a film about migration and inequality, but also about dignity, human connection and the possibility of starting over.

Maghreb Film Festival: Take My Breath
De Balie, Sunday, November 1 at 02:00 PM GMT+1
Twenty-three-year-old Shams works as a seamstress and lives a quiet life, carefully keeping her intersex identity hidden from those around her. When her secret is exposed, the fragile balance of her life collapses. Caught between desire, love and the rigid expectations of her surroundings, Shams is forced to leave her home and seek refuge in Tunis.
With Take My Breath, Nada Mezni Hafaiedh explores the difficult tension between personal identity and the social norms imposed on the body. Shams’ journey becomes a story about the right to define yourself, even when the world around you refuses to accept anything that falls outside its familiar boundaries.
The film premiered at the Warsaw International Film Festival and went on to win awards at the Rotterdam Arab Film Festival and the International Oriental Film Festival of Geneva. It was also selected as Tunisia’s entry for the 2025 Academy Awards.

Lelo - 22:00
Paradiso, Monday, December 7 at 10:00 PM GMT+1
New Detroit rap meets ghettotechThis is an extra concert. There will be another concert on Monday 7 December at 19:30.
Detroit rapper Lelo continues his breakout run in 2026 with new music and a sold-out headline tour. His latest release, “Like Sunday,” follows “Dice Roll” and “Yoppenheimer (Remix)” with Joey Bada$$, building on the momentum of his double mixtape Mastiff / Pink Tiles. The two-disc project brings together his signature “New Detroit” sound and a more experimental side shaped by ghettotech and club music.
After making his Rolling Loud debut and performing alongside Don Toliver at Summerfest, Lelo completed a sold-out 15-city tour with a homecoming show at Detroit’s St. Andrew’s Hall. His sound, rooted in Detroit street rap while drawing from house and ’80s Detroit techno, has earned recognition from Billboard, Pitchfork, The FADER and Highsnobiety. With a new full-length project on the horizon, Lelo remains one of the Midwest’s most closely watched new voices.

CinéDialoog: Gardens of Fez
De Balie, Wednesday, October 28 at 07:30 PM GMT+1
In deze historische Marokkaanse liggen de oude stadstuinen er verlaten bij. Aan de hand van de herinneringen van een onderwijzer, architect, tuinman en dichter ontvouwt zich een verhaal over de magie van deze eeuwenoude plekken.
De grote tuinen en rivieren die ooit het hart van de stad Fez vormden zijn bijna volledig verdwenen. Toch leven ze voort in verhalen, gedichten, rituelen en de herinneringen van de mensen die er wonen. Terwijl een architect de verborgen waterwegen van de stad blootlegt, probeert een onderwijzeres de verhalen over de tuinen door te geven aan haar leerlingen. Een dichter haalt een oud gedicht aan, een tuinman verzorgt een van de laatste groene plekken en een danseres brengt de geest van het water tot leven. Zo ontvouwt zich een portret van Fez als een stad op de grens van herinnering en verbeelding, waar het verleden nog altijd verweven is met het dagelijks leven.
Na de film gaan we in gesprek met de filmmaker over de bijzondere manier waarop ze dit onderwerp benadert.
