BIFFF

March 21-April 8, Belgium's 26th Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival will be showing about ninety movies along with thirteen events.

"Why are we so tenaciously defending fantastic film, a genre which, since the birth of cinema, has often been met with derision and contempt. Well, if you really want to know, as programmers and organisers of the biggest Belgian genre film festival, we’ll shout it from the rooftops : fantastic film is the most significant cinema on the planet !

"And we’ll prove it for the 26th time with a program that’s overflowing with young directors bombarding us with poignant questions about a future that’s not a century away, but that’s here and now and all around us : virtual worlds, ecological catastrophes, nano-technology, privatised war, genetically manipulates beasties, extreme reality TV… Where else but at Bifff will you get a taste of what’s in store for all of us ?!

"As usual, we don’t take ourselves too serious and wrap the festival in a multitude of animations, exhibitions, side-events and a few surprises along the way, allowing spectators to browse through our cinematic pearls in a true, festive manner."
