We have a new edition of Belgica Obscura, a special program in collaboration with Razor Reel Flanders Film Festival in Bruges, in store for you!

A rare thing, Belgian genre films and their makers, yet they exist! This year too, some brave ones managed to realise their dreams and visions in the form of diverse short films, all within the fantastic genre. Belgica Obscura collected for you a selection from their country’s modest offer. Over the years, Belgica Obscura managed to collect nearly 200 Belgian horror (co)productions, going from big budget pictures, student films, to inevitable homemade splatter and amateur flicks. Vampires, psychopaths, aliens, demons, zombies, even cardboard prehistoric creatures and more! They will bring you a small selection of short films to show you the diversity of what Belgica Obscura stands for. We have heard that there aren’t that many dinosaurs, vampires and zombies this time, but at least now we’ve got your attention!

Natan wants to save Hannah from death. He hopes to survive the RECALL program long enough, to create a timeline where they are back together.
