Adapted from the novel of the same name by Johan Daisne, the film follows a middle-aged teacher who leaves his town after his beloved young student moves to another city. As he begins a new life as a civil servant, memories of the past and repressed desires open a deep fissure in his mind.

Regarded as the founding work of modern Belgian cinema, The Man Who Had His Hair Cut Short blends the every day with the subconscious, taking viewers on a journey between dream and reality. Spaces become abstract, time bends, and the narrative unravels in tandem with the character’s inner voice.

The film was restored by the Royal Film Archive of Belgium (CINEMATEK) with the support of A Season of Classic Films.

Inspired by the exhibition And Now the Good News, which focusing on the relationship between mass media and art, we prepared horoscope readings based on the chapters of the exhibition. Using the popular astrological language inspired by the effects of the movements of celestial bodies on people, these readings with references to the works in the exhibition make fictional future predictions inspired by the horoscope columns that we read in the newspapers with the desire to receive good news about our day.
