Halloween 2024

FANTASTIC FOREST – 25.10.2024

If you’re one of those ghouls who can’t wait till Halloween, you’re in for a trick-or-treat! On Friday October 25th, the BIFFF in collaboration with the Commune of Forest and MOUV’ is celebrating an early Halloween. The event will take place in a local movie theater, Cinema Roma, that for decades laid dormant, but is now rising from the grave under a new moniker, Centre Jules Verne (67 Chaussée de Neerstalle, in 1190 Forest). 

At 6 PM a motley crew of most peculiar creatures will welcome you into its lair, showing the way to an in-house art exhibition. Those of you who wish to flaunt your inner vampire can ask for a little help from a professional make-up team.

V-v-vampires? Yup, ‘cause after a juicy little appetizer, Marco Bolla’s and Jeanne Remi’s excellent short Next, we’re sinking our fangs into Harry Kümel’s Daughters of Darkness, a Belgian vampire flick starring Delphine Seyrig as the classy Countess Báthory looking for late-night snacks in 70’s Ostend to quench her eternal thirst.

The icing on the cake? Mr. Harry Kümel in the flesh, who will introduce his cult classic and will stay on for a Q&A session after the screening.

Happy Halloween to all of our Children of the Dark!
