Edition 2000

They could tell you whatever they want.
They could tell you that the Festival, relying on the intelligence and the adventurous spirit of its audience, explores Fantasy - through some 100 long features (of which 70 first screenings) and some 30 short features - in all its expressions and that, with its 7th Orbit section, it makes excursions beyond the borders of the genre.
They could tell you that the Festival attracts more than 60.000 fans and that it clearly satisfies a need. It has created a strong image with which its audience can clearly indentify.
They could tell you that the Festival will spread its tentacles all over Brussels, starting from the Passage 44 and moving on to Cinema Nova, passing through the Old Ice Cellars of St.Gilles and the Maison Bis-Art-Bizarre, through the Maison du Livre and the Cultural Centre Jacques Franck (for Imaginaire 2000), through the Media Library of the French Community, the Free University of Brussels and finally through the Actor’s Studio for a TroMarathon.
They could also tell you that the Festival will gobble up Antwerp, Ghent, Hasselt, Leuven, Ostend, La Louvière, Namur and Liège, where the 6th Nights of Fantasy Films and the First Marathon of Fantasy Films will take place; without forgetting the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg that will organise the 4th edition of our little brother-festival : Cinénygma.
They could still tell you that the Festival will not only explore the imagination of filmmakers all over the globe, but also that of sculptors, painters, writer, actors, make-up artists, fashion designers, comic-strip artists,...
They could tell you that the Festival has succeeded in composing a program of quality without losing an ounce of its popularity.
They could finally tell you that the Festival has become a reference in the genre and that, each year, it offers a world-wide panorama of the very best in Fantasy.
They could go on and on and on...
And they still wouldn’t have told you anything.
They would have told you nothing about the party that will go on for 16 days, or about the catharsis that the audience will enjoy during this celebration of cinema.
And they would have told you nothing about the magic that takes place between our walls, which is not something you can describe but something that you have to experience for yourself.
