Special Events

A tribute to Benoit Colpaert

On May 27, we will pay tribute to Benoit Colpaert, a young and spirited RITCS student whom we lost to cancer in February 2025. We as students, faculty and colleagues of the RITCS remember Benoit fondly for his boundless enthusiasm and the warm energy with which he arrived on set, in class and at the café.

We are screening this evening at 7 p.m. a short film by Benoit, “Queen Of Ostend,” which he made at RITCS as part of the AtelierDocumentary course. The short film embodies Benoit’s typical style: the combination of humor and emotionally fragile subjects. Benoit was immensely proud of this film.

Afterwards, we will screen Benoit’s favorite film PULP FICTION by Quentin Tarantino. After the film(s), you are welcome to order Kwak – Benoit’s favorite beer – at the Ritcs Café.

This evening, we are collecting donations for charity: fighting cancer in young adults (Come On Against Cancer and AYA) and funding the production post-mortem of one of his written short films “A Red Mini Cooper with a Roof Box.”

See you in the cinema!
