Bloody Belgium

Belgica Obscura

A brand-new edition of Belgica Obscura — a special program presented by our collaborators in Bruges at the Razor Reel Flanders Film Festival. This showcase dives into the twisted talents of Belgian genre filmmakers, presenting fresh, freaky shorts that prove the Belgian lowlands are anything but low-key. Belgica Obscura drags their spawn into the light: a twisted sampler of Belgium’s subterranean cinema sins. All flavour. No apologies.

De Potloodmoorden [35mm]

A Bloody Special 35mm screening in the theatre room at Nieuwe Veste with a portable projector. Director Guy Lee Thys will be present for an introduction and Q&A.

A policeman neglects his young, attractive wife because of his professional duties. Soon, he has to face the fact that she deceives him. It seriously complicates the case he is working on: attractive young women are brutally killed by means of a pencil rammed into their noses until the brain is pierced.
