Offscreen Film Fest is an annual international film festival which takes place in Brussels during the month of February and/or March. Offscreen is an initiative by the non-for-profit organization Marcel [1] and is organised in co-production with Cinema Nova [2] and in collaboration with the Film Museum of the Royal Belgian Film Archive [3].
Offscreen wants to create an acquisition, media and exhibition platform for undistributed or rarely screened films and give audiences a chance to (re)discover 16 or 35mm prints of repertory Cult classics. Offscreen is a showcase for unusual and independent talent, highlighting the weird and the wonderful, including offbeat genre films, extraordinary documentaries and other hybrid, iconoclastic features from around the world. The festival screens such successes as Even Dwarfs Started Small, Forbidden Zone, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Flesh for Frankenstein, … and directors as Werner Herzog, Pavel Lounguine, Jack Hill, Tod Browning, Guy Maddin, Robinson Devor, …
A number of international guests are invited to present their film like Jack Hill in 2008. By way of organising lectures and Q&A’s between directors, academics and film critics, we try to bridge the gap between film theory and film practice.
Offscreen is a non-competitive festival and awards no trophies. By way of thematic programming modules and different exhibition formats, we want to explore new and sometimes unexpected connections between contemporary film and film history.
Our main interest is to offer the public the possibility to discover ‘offscreen’ audiovisual productions whether they are feature films, documentaries or shorts; all of them films which are produced in an independent artistic and economic context, and which are radical and innovative in form as much as in content.
A team of young and experienced organizers wants to establish the Offscreen Film Fest as a reference in the field of innovative and unusual audiovisual programming and put it firmly on the Brussels and international festival agenda.
