Brussels Independent Film Festival

The aim of the FESTIVAL INTERNATIONAL DU FILM INDÉPENDANT is above all to allow directors who don't fit the classical ways of visual media to express themselves. As such, the festival constitutes the perfect showcase for independent film-makers, whose seething creation is expressed in such a spontaneous way that they have little chance to find their way in the existing distribution networks.

As a whole, the Festival du Film Indépendant shows 100 films or videos, originating from 60 different countries, among which many European or world premières and many special programmes. Over the years, the festival has become the ideal venue for independent film-makers from all horizons. Born in 1974 from the Super8 movement, it has become open to all formats.
