Edition 2002
This year, the BIFFF blows out 20 candles. There’s a certain pressure on us to brag, as we are perceived as cultural trench-fighting veterans. People want saucy anecdotes and other (fantastic) stories of our heroic deeds. Meanwhile, what about the genre? Obviously, it sets us on fire. More and more often, you’ll find us staring into infinity, reminiscing about festivals past and shedding a tear when suddenly remembering some fond and long gone mementos. Things sometimes seems so far away, yet they’re so close at the same time. A whirlpool of memories, a multitude of images, a cascade of numbers, a waterfall of fantasies, hallucinations of realities, a tornado of faces, … 20 years of obstinacy, 20 years of audacity, 20 years of exhaustion and rebirth, 20 years of friendship. 20 years to change a pumpkin into a carriage, Thanks to the audience who have always supported us and still do, Thanks to you, The BIFFF has raised itself to the top of cinematographic actuality, including all the expressive forms, shapes and sizes of Fantasy and breaching the twilight zone of parallel cinema universes. Nevertheless, this Festival hasn’t changed, it’s still passion that drives us ! Enjoy the Festival !
