Benoît Poelvoorde Filming New Project in Ploubazlanec

Belgian actor Benoît Poelvoorde is currently filming in Loguivy-de-la-Mer, a small fishing port in Ploubazlanec, Côtes-d’Armor, Brittany, for the upcoming feature film « Pourquoi pas nous » directed by Mélanie Auffret.

The production began on Monday, April 13, 2026, with Poelvoorde and co-star Camille Lou shooting scenes at the port location. The film marks Auffret’s follow-up to her critically acclaimed debut « Les Petites victoires », which starred Michel Blanc and was also filmed in Brittany.

Poelvoorde, known for his distinctive blend of humor and intensity in films such as « Man Bites Dog » and « Coco Before Chanel », has been described by the production team as playing a role « taillé sur mesure pour lui » — tailor-made for his particular screen presence.
