The Brussels Film Festival has been celebrating European cinema for 14 years. The current edition boasts some 100 features and short films from more than 20 countries. Guest of honour this year is German director Volker Schlöndorff, whose long list of films include The Handmaid’s Tale, The Ogre and the 1979 masterpiece The Tin Drum. A retrospective of his work is on at Cinematek for the occasion. The festival also includes premieres and an Outsiders selection of work by cult directors. If that’s not enough, it’s also loaded with meet-and-greets, debates, master classes, parties and a selection of free, open-air screenings.
17-24 June at Flagey, Brussels
