BNP Paribas Fortis and Belgian cinema: a tried-and-tested love story

Like the relations that our bank maintains with its customers, our action regarding Belgian cinema is not limited to simple financial aid. It is a long-term relationship that we are building step by step with our partners. Our aim is to give the sector as a whole a boost.

Partner of all cinema lovers

For instance, Belgium’s most famous festivals and ceremonies can count on BNP Paribas Fortis as a loyal ally. Les Magritte du Cinéma, the Festival International du Film Francophone de Namur, the Ensors, the Film Festival Oostende, the Brussels International Film Festival and the Festival Anima are all long-term partnerships that our bank has forged right across the country.

Added to this, we established the BNP Paribas Fortis Film Days, an unmissable event eagerly awaited every year by thousands of cinema lovers who, for a few days, can benefit from reduced prices for the films on show. The perfect opportunity to roll out the red carpet for the many Belgian productions.

Cinevox, for the love of Belgian cinema

This unfailing commitment also led, in 2011, to the creation of Cinevox, a platform for the promotion of Belgian cinema. Cinevox produces a monthly video magazine that fosters Belgian cinema and cinematographic expertise through interviews with actors, meetings with filmmakers, reports on shooting films in Belgium and more. A short version of this magazine is shown in over 350 cinemas before the film begins.
