Brussels Art Film Festival

More films, more meet the artist events, more auditoriums: for its 16th edition, the Art Film Festival is thinking big! The festival now welcomes international films that are out of competition and has taken advantage of this innovation to change its name... Welcome to the BAFF, the Brussels Art Film Festival. Still just as proud of the Belgian art documentaries which continue to pick up prizes in some of the most prestigious festivals, the ISELP and the Centre du Film sur l'Art have put together a programme which includes a selection of the best recent films on dance, literature, the visual arts, cinema and music, selected from among the 70 films submitted. An international jury will determine the winner of the Art Film Award and the SCAM Discovery Award, and one lucky young filmmaker will be awarded a grant to help with writing. Aside from a complete “Filming Museums” cycle at CINEMATEK and a selection of international films that are out of competition at BOZAR and the ISELP, several meet the artist events will be organised based around the links between art and cinema. Henceforth the BAFF organises school sessions and some events will now take place at Plaza Art in Mons. What better opportunity to discover new talent on the big screen?
