Na een succesvolle festivalronde komt Real Faces, de debuutfilm van regisseur Leni Huyghe, op 22 april uit in de Belgische zalen. De film beleefde zijn wereldpremière op South by Southwest (SXSW) in Austin, Texas en werd nadien vertoond op het Filmfestival Oostende. Eerder viel Real Faces ook in de prijzen op het Spaanse Intersección filmfestival, waar het zowel de publieksprijs als een Special Mention van de jury ontving.

Synopsis: Julia (Leonie Buysse) is een ambitieuze casting-agent die na een breuk van Parijs naar Brussel verhuist. Achter een façade van succes en zelfverzekerdheid verbergt ze haar diepste onzekerheden. Ze ontmoet Eliott, een zwijgzame maar gedreven microbioloog. Ondanks hun tegenovergestelde werelden ontstaat er een onverwachte vriendschap. Wanneer Julia de job van haar leven krijgt, komt ze voor een keuze te staan: doorgaan met het spelen van een rol, of eindelijk eerlijk zijn tegenover zichzelf en echt leven.

Leni Huyghe regisseerde eerder bekroonde kortfilms die geselecteerd werden voor internationale festivals zoals de Cinéfondation in Cannes, Visions du Réel en Palm Springs. In 2015 werd ze geselecteerd voor Berlinale Talents. Voor Canvas co-regisseerde ze samen met Maui Druez en Liesbeth De Ceulaer de documentaire I Waited Night & Day, over de impact van de Covid-crisis in woonzorgcentra. Daarnaast regisseerde ze het tweede seizoen van de populaire webserie Hacked.

Het scenario van Real Faces werd geschreven door Leni Huyghe en Vincent Vanneste. De hoofdrollen worden vertolkt door Leonie Buysse en Gorges Ocloo, met daarnaast rollen voor Joely Mbundu, Yoann Blanc en Karlijn Sileghem. Het camerawerk is van Grimm Vandekerckhove en de montage van Tom Denoyette.

Real Faces is een productie van Elisa Heene voor Mirage, in coproductie met het Brusselse Hélicotronc. De film kwam tot stand met de steun van het VAF/Filmfonds van de Vlaamse minister van Cultuur Caroline Gennez, de Belgische Tax Shelter via Casa Kafka, het Centre du Cinéma et de l’Audiovisuel de la Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles, Creative Europe MEDIA en VOO & BeTV.
