What’s on: Lissewege’s fairy-tale light festival

Cinema Nova’s annual festival puts film in unlikely spots in the capital. That doesn’t mean cobblestone squares or hidden gardens, it means abandoned fields or industrial zones or, such as this year, underneath a viaduct and in an export warehouse for second-hand cars. The setting fits the theme, which for this edition is Brussels’ ongoing love affair with the automobile. PleinOPENair also includes guided walks and debates, and everything is free. It’s advisable, however, to reserve a place in advance for the walks. 22 August to 1 September, across Brussels

Where you can you hear Bach and Mozart next to Slongs Dievanongs or Ed Sheeran? At Antwerp’s Monday night carillon concerts under the cathedral’s bell tower on Groenplaats. Some pieces are written specifically for carillon bells? but others are simply adapted, and anything goes. Carillon players play live for the weekly summer concerts, and there are two more editions. You get to cast a vote for what will be played at the final concert on 27 August. Vote on the website by 20 August and then just show up in Groenplaats, or surrounding streets, and listen. 20 & 27 August 20.00-21.00, Groenplaats

American lo-fi indie rocker Charlyn Marie Marshall, better known as Cat Power, has finally released a new album, six years after Sun. Wanderer releases on 5 October and carries a title inspired by Marshall’s nomadic lifestyle. Having grown up moving around a lot in the US, she spent the last few years “going from town to town, with my guitar, telling my tale,” she told Pitchfork, “with reverence to the people who did this generations before me. Folk singers, blues singers and everything in between. They were all wanderers, and I am lucky to be among them.” In any case, expect more of the soulful voice and lyrics, with gospel and blues influences, for which the 46-year-old is known. This show is bound to sell out, so pick up tix while you still can. 26 October 20.00, Ancienne Belgique, Anspachlaan 110, Brussels
