OFFSCREEN, A NEW BRUSSELS FILM FESTIVAL!
The first edition of Offscreen Film Fest will take place from the 21th
of February untill the 9th of March 2008 in Cinema Nova and the
Filmmuseum.
Offscreen is a showcase for unusual and independent talent and will
screen unreleased films, cult classics, extraordinary documentaries
and offbeat genres from around the world. By means of thematic modules
and alternative screening formats we want to connect contemporary film
with the history of cinema. The focus lies on groundbreaking cinema
that is not afraid of crossing boundaries.
During three long weekends Cinema Nova, the famous alternative film
theatre in the centre of Brussels, will be transformed into an exotic
exhibit place for the most amazing and wonderful films. More than
thirty feature films, documentaries and a number of special events
will offer a broad and challenging program. Between the 31st of
February and the 9th of March a select retrospective program will be
held at the Filmmuseum.
Although the program is not fully completed yet, we can already give
some teasers. To be expected in Cinema Nova are 3D screenings of
classic cult movies, a special on contemporary and classic Freak
Cinema and a retrospective including lectures on Tod Browning in the
Filmmuseum. Also, a homage program dedicated to Jack Hill, godfather
of grindhouse en blaxploitation cinema, who will present some of his
films (Spider Baby, Coffy, Foxy Brown) in person. The collective vzw
Cirq from Ghent will turn Cinema Nova into a true sideshow including
special acts and exhibition.
More information on program and guests will be announced in January.
