Once in a while, between all those zombie flicks and black comedies, we enjoy a bit of Baudelaire.

A sign of idiocy.… Continue reading Edition2023

Edition2022
While everybody’s getting out of quarantine, we’re locking ourselves back in for 13 days. And with the greatest pleasure! Our last physical edition took place in 2019. Then, because of you-know-what, the world was put on hold. Our world began to resemble a poorly written horror movie, where the biggest cliffhangers were empty toilet paper… Continue reading Edition2022

It is with the publication of Silence in 1979, in the magazine, that Didier Comès shows to have found his way by rediscovering his roots.

We thought it was over, we had made up our minds about it, we had grieved already… We thought we would be forever the only ones, in Belgium, who thought that the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival was likely to really count internationally (besides a few far-sighted sponsors). Of course, of course, the public had… Continue reading Edition1991

Spectator my friend, be careful! We have not spent the last few months twiddling our thumbs, patiently, relentlessly, diabolically, we have concocted a giant programme that is likely to be a real downer! You thought you knew what to expect, but you’ve made a big mistake; you can’t go from one screening to the next… Continue reading Edition1990

Let’s take the plunge, let’s dare to say it, let’s lift the veil: it has taken too long to admit it to you, shame on the others, shame on us: Dracula is Belgian. His black and red cloak is discreetly bordered with yellow! The existence of a Fantastic Film Festival in Brussels is no coincidence.… Continue reading Edition1989
