After 34 editions and 3 years of organizing the
European Co-Production Market for genre films, the
BIFFF will organize the Brussels International Film
Market ( Genre Film & TV-series Market ) in April 2017.
The BIF Market – organized with the support of
the City of Brussels and the Brussels Capital Region
and with the participation of B ozar, Screen.Brussels,
“la Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles”, Warwick Hotel,
Screen International & Best Western Hotel Royal
Centre – will, of course, focus on genre cinema :
Thriller, Fantasy, Science-Fiction, Horror, Gore,
Sword & Sorcery, Monster movies, Cult, Fairy Tales,
Surrealism…
You’ll be among dedicated professionals and
aficionados from independent genre to blockbusters
in order to discover and buy the latest genre gems
of the year !
This kind of encounter can, of course,
only take place during an event dedicated
to the genres that we all love !
The BIFFF selects more than 90 features from
5 continents ( of which 1/3 are World, International
or European premieres ) and presents them in front
of an enthusiastic and knowledgeable audience and
a jury of professionals !
Brussels is geared more and more towards cinema
and offers various services to different productions
( supports and logistics during shootings, … ) that,
added to numerous post and preproduction studios
that are spread across the European capital, make it
more and more attractive for the film industry !
If we add to this regional and federal support
mechanisms ( Tax Shelter, … ) and the presence of
one of the biggest genre film festivals in the world,
Brussels thus positions itself more and more as a
central hub for genre cinema.
Brussels is truly the capital of Fantasy and thanks to
Jaco Van Dormael’s The Brand New Testament we
now know that GOD lives in Brussels !
The BIFFF Market will take place
from 13 till 15 April 2017
at the Center for Fine Arts ! ( page 7 )
The accreditation fee is 100 € ( early bird )
It is valid for the BIF Market and for the BIFFF
( upon invitation ).
Early bird, accreditation : register before the
15th of December 2016 and the BIFFF will reserve your
hotel room at the best price !!! ( page 15 )
