11 manically obsessed film freaks who wear down one dvd drive after another, one movie theatre seat after another at home and abroad, who knock, pounce, beat and scream at doors that remain more shut than open, who fish for pearls in an ocean of sharks but never despair, never quit, never give up and never surrender, who are often completely insufferable to their fellow humans, but who are always all for one and one for all, who share each other’s misery, who share each other’s dreams, who try to see into the future with bloodshot eyes, who are all hopelessly addicted to the big screen, who are all united for one goal : To come up with a program that will blow you of your socks !

This year we have, as usual, a very versatile and colourful program, with a strong representation from Scandinavia, the Celtic Fringe and England and a tendency for an extremely violent and explicit thematic treatment.

80 films on the menu, spread between our different sections : the International Competition, the European Méliès Competition, the 7th Orbit, the Thriller Competition (for the second time), the Fantastic Section, the Japanimation, the Extreme & Funny Midnight Screenings and the Belgian Movie Day with its Belgian Fantastic Short Film Competition.

Have a bloody marvellous BIFFF !!!
