Practical
In its third edition, the Brussels International Film Festival (BRIFF) is taking over our capital city.
From September 3rd to September 13th 2020, Brussels will be brimming with a bouquet of emotions as the BRIFF takes place at Bozar, Cinéma UGC, Palace and Cinéma des Galeries as well as evening open-air screenings along Boulevard Anspach, thus offering an urban and cinematographic experience to the festival goers.
A great summer party: Brussels in Motion
From September 3rd to September 13th 2020, there will be lights, elegance, and glamour, in other words, magic in the air, from the hushed crowds in the darkened venues to the uninhibited late night festivities. 11 days at 24 frames per second, 11 days of constant action, ten days of E-motion. All due respect to Cannes, Berlin and Venise, but in Brussels Quiet on the set! Action!
