A Brukselbinnenstebuiten guide will lead you on a fascinating tour of the Movy Club in Forest (1934). This art deco cinema, one of Brussels’ few remaining neighborhood cinemas, is nestled in a vibrant, densely populated area. For nearly a century, the Wielemans-Ceuppens brewery was a central figure in the local economy, located along the Senne River and the railway line to Midi Station. Since 2007, the Wiels arts center has occupied the former modernist brewing halls. Adjacent to this is the charming nature reserve ‘Marais de Wiels,’ a beloved spot for local residents. A forthcoming urban renewal project promises to revitalize the neighborhood with improved housing, increased greenery, and a new cycling and walking route away from busy streets. The renovated Movy Club is set to become a dynamic new cultural hub for the community.

This tour takes place right before the concert by El León Pardo y los gaiteros de Punta Icaco.
