Hurra, got my pass for the Brussels Short Film Festival thanks to the Agenda Mag. Tonight is the opening.

Lets remain thematic with cinema’s. In Brussels I really enjoy Cinema Nova, Vendome and Aremberg. The latter has closed its doors end of 2011. I never go to commercial cinema complex such as UGC or Kinepolis. For film festivals you enjoy Offscreen at Cinema Nova, Anima in disgusting (tiring) seats of Flagey and Brussels Short Film Festival in Cinema Vendome. In this poster above you find cinema in Galerie de la Reine. There is also Actor’s Studio in the same neighborhood in the very heart of Brussels.
I dropped BIFFF (Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival) from my list as I usually travel in April. I also have to admit I do not like the atmosphere of the venue Tour & Taxis in Brussels. The poster for this years edition by Hugo Prat is nice.
His life could be compared to that of a cat, because he has certainly lived nine lives ! Ugo Prat (his real name), was born in 1927 in Rimini (Italy), when Mussolini’s fascism was in full rise. At the outbreak of WWII, the little genius flees to Abyssinia (which is not the homeland of Cameron’s Abyss, but the former name of Ethiopia) where his father serves as a soldier. Many adventures will color his young life : arrested by the SS who thought he was a spy, his escape and him joining the resistance… Pratt already has lots of stories to tell.
Corto Maltese, his iconic character, appears in 1967 in Italian magazines, but is quickly exported to France (Pif Gadget) and then Belgium, in the pages of the renowned Tintin magazine. Pratt’s work garners several awards at the Angoulême festival and a Lifetime Achiement Award in 1988 and leads to two on-screen adaptations (Jesuit Joe in 1990 and Corto Maltese in 2002). The grandmaster dies in 1995, leaving behind an impressive body of work. With the poster of its 30th anniversary, the BIFFF wants to honor this legendary comic-strip artist.

He is everywhere, concert and film…
His lens captures a portrait of America right after World War II – a central theme in Kubrick’s films. This idea of social portrayal is at the heart of our presentation of Kubrick and informed our organization of his documentary photographs. His themes include crime scenes, the life of a shoeshine man, a university theatre troupe, etc.

It’s party time – the Offscreen Film Festival celebrates its fifth anniversary ! From March 7 to 25, 2012, the spotlight of this annual rendez-vous for enthusiasts of bizarre and cult cinema, is on independent filmmakers, cult classics and eccentric genres from all over the world. All shows take place on different locations in Brussels, and especially for this festive fifth edition, there’s two film-related music concerts as well. So – yeah !
