Joseph Rouschop founded Tarantula Belgique in the late 1990s with the ambition of supporting the sincerity and vision of the filmmakers he works with. His first documentaries and short films placed human stories at the core, tackling powerful and meaningful themes.

Since Une part du ciel by Bénédicte Liénard (Official Selection, Cannes 2002), Tarantula has become a key player in Belgian cinema. Notable productions include Le Paradis by Zéno Graton, Ailleurs si j’y suis by François Pirot, Pompéi by Anna Falguères and John Shank, Tous les chats sont gris by Savina Dellicour, and the above-mentioned Une part du ciel.

Tarantula is also active in international co-productions. With Italy: Chiara, Miss Marx, Nico, 1988 (Susanna Nicchiarelli), Pasolini (Abel Ferrara), Superluna (Federico Bondi), Io Capitano (Matteo Garrone), The Great Ambition (Andrea Segre), Il Nibbio (Alessandro Tonda), The Tasters (Silvio Soldini). With France: Normale (Olivier Babinet), La mer au loin (Saïd Hamich Benlarbi), with Switzerland: Pauline Grandeur Nature (Nadège de Benoît Luthy).
Thanks to his artistic vision and dedication, Joseph Rouschop and Tarantula Belgique have established themselves as essential figures in Belgian and international cinema.
