Film fantastic in Brussels

Fans of the supernatural will love catching a flight to Brussels for the Belgian city's annual Brussels International Festival of Fantastic Film at Tour & Taxis between April 5th and 17th.

This popular festival explores the cream of films involving horror, the supernatural, science fiction and the plain fantastic, as well as holding numerous special events outside of showings.

These special events include a body painting contest, a vampire's ball and an unusual fashion show.

Whole nights dedicated to manga, short films and more are also held, with awards given for the best in each category.

With more than 150 films and features, as well as a series of child-friendly screenings, this festival provides a perfect way to spend a holiday in Brussels, while also having time to explore the city in between showings.
