Challenging our understanding of radicalisation and its reasons, The Empty Room is a personified portrayal of a global problem: a Belgian family is faced with the aftermath of the death of their 19-year-old son who had left to wage Jihad in Syria. Banding together with other parents in her situation, the mother fights against the silent disappearance of her son through the cracks of the judiciary system, demanding that his death be officially recognised.

“I’m thinking of my landscape works now as anti-war artworks—they’re about the antithesis of war, the kind of beauty we’re destroying. The Ten Skies works came about because I’m thinking about what the opposite of war is” – James Benning

A highly entertaining and very timely satire filled with dark humour, vivid characters, and dizzying twists, following a family man who devises his own peculiar way of dealing with unemployment. Prepared over twenty years by Korean master Park Chan-wook (Oldboy, The Handmaiden), the film is among the leading contenders for an Academy Award nomination for Best International Feature Film.
