Bifff Brussels (by bifff - Mauricet)

Countdown has started to one of the most fun film festivals in the world, the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival. More than 10 days of screaming, yelling, freezing and hiding for/from serial killers, monsters, zombies, axe murderers and extraterrestials.

This festival is the highlight of the year for every cine-lover with a soft spot for cult, horror, thriller or fantasy. Being one of the most famous in its kind it attracts visitors, producers and directors from the entire world. There are many occasions where the director is present in the movie theatre together with the audience, ready to answer your questions after the screening.

“LA PORTE ! “

The main reason why I like going to this event is the unique atmosphere. We brave spectators live along with what we see on the screen, and will not hesitate to try to save the life of the poor busty blonde by shouting she has to close the door or look behind her… while some others need to express their sympathy for their favorite zombie, applauding when he’s producing human minced meat.

Very amusing are side events. Say hello to Mr Dracula and Mss Frankenstein at the Bal Des Vampires, a party where everyone is dressed for the occasion. My personal pick is the fantastic film night, a movie night that starts at 00.00 and ends with a breakfast in the morning, 4 movies later. It’s a perfect summary of what bifff has to offer, unique atmosphere and fun, spooky movies.

WELCOME!

Recyclart Brussels (by Wouter Spitters)

If you’re not interested in the spots where you have to be hip and trendy and you want something more ‘underground’, then Recyclart is the place to be for you.

Literally because of its location beneath the railway track, and even more because this former railway station is an alternative artistic hotspot. Meet your cultural soulmates in the bar, or have a look at the art exhibitions, photography expositions or architecture projects.

Wanna move your feet? Go the the frequently organised parties or concerts and shake your body on the rhythms of dubstep, electro, worldbeat or guitar noise. 
Disko disko partizani!
