Everybody knows Belgium!
For the food of course; waffles, chocolate, beers, fries. But also for the comic books, for its music festivals, and sometimes for its political system.
But have you ever noticed how often Belgium is unexpectedly mentioned in movies of series?!
In 2011 some Eric Moreau created everybodyknowsbelgium.com, pointing out how often Belgium, Belgians or Belgian Places are cited in U.S. movies and series. He also later edited The Belgium supercut. The website disappeared around 2016, and the only search results of “everybodyknowsbelgium” became press articles reporting his/their work.
This is an attempt to restart the collection and the legacy.
Feel free to get in touch if you want to contribute or become a publisher.
And remember: “if you understood the Belgian political system, it is because it was unwell explained to you” (B. Remy).
