'''Le Flagey''' is a cultural institution in Brussels located in the former in [[Ixelles]], on [[place Flagey]].

Established as a public limited company ([[société anonyme]]) ''Maison de la Radio Flagey'' on 30 June 1998, and as an ([[association without lucrative purpose]]) ''Flagey'', Le Flagey has the following missions:
* to create a cultural pole in Brussels, open to different music, offering a large part to the image of different artistic disciplines;
* to create an architectural and real-estate pole: the safeguarding and reallocation of the building of the [[RTBF]];
* to create a pole at the social level: demonstration of a dynamic action carried out jointly by representatives of the country's different communities with a view to creating a cultural institution of excellence with a European vocation. It is also on the borders of the privileged area of the Étangs d'Ixelles and the world of immigrant cultures.

Le Flagey has now regained its original function by creating a musical space with [[recording studios]] and [[concert]]s venues (the [[Brussels Philharmonic]] resides in Studio 4). It has become a place with an eclectic programming.

It was directed by from 2007 to 2011 and, since 2011, by Gilles Ledure.

== Cinema house==
This cultural centre has a room permanently dedicated to cinema. It screens films programmed by the [[Cinémathèque royale de Belgique]]. Either indisputable classics or recent curiosities that have not been distributed in the commercial network.

If the prints are, for the most part, the same as those shown at , the access price is much higher at the Flagey (about double). The audience is therefore, on the whole, easier, less heterogeneous.

Exceptional screenings are sometimes organised in the prestigious largest concert hall in Brussels where a huge screen is installed for the event. In 2003, ''[[Playtime]]'' by Jacques Tati was screened there in its original version in [[70 mm]], for the first time in Belgium.
