The Brussels Short Film Festival is an event for the public and filmmakers that aims to promote and disseminate short films.

From 24 April to 3 May 2025, the 28th edition of the festival is all about freedom: the freedom to be yourself, to move, to dispose of your body, to express yourself, to love, to live…

The Brussels CoProMarket – Short Films Sessions, born from the merger of the Co-Production Forum of the Brussels Short Film Festival and the Co-Production Market of the Brussels International Film Festival, will take place on 28 & 29 April 2025.

Bildrausch Filmfest Basel

Publié par Eda Uner le Wednesday 9 April 2025

Bildrausch Filmfest Basel

The BILDRAUSCH film festival in Basel returns from 25 to 29 June 2025 with the theme ‘Neighbourhoods’.

 

The festival focuses on living together, both at the level of a household or a neighbourhood and at the level of a city or a country, and examines pressing questions from different angles in the hope of discovering new perspectives and answers.

The SHORTS section is dedicated to Swiss filmmakers and provides a stage for experimental boldness and artistic creation. Enriched with film talks, panel discussions, readings, concerts, exhibitions and performances, BILDRAUSCH forges personal connections between artists and audiences, broadens perspectives and forges an inspiring space for encounters from all walks of life.

The performance ‘Sounds of Neighbours’, organised as part of the 2025 edition of BILDRAUSCH, collects sounds from unique, absurd and funny stories from different parts of the city. It doesn’t matter if it’s a simple phone recording, Argentinian musician Daniel Almada will edit it and improvise live. If you would like to contribute to this performance, send in your story in the form of a text or a simple telephone recording via this link by 30 April.

 

Further information

 

The BILDRAUSCH film festival in Basel, Switzerland presents feature and short films of exceptional artistic quality in an international setting and at the same time addresses current social issues.

Call for entries of the CinEuro Prize 2025 is now open!

Publié par Eda Uner le Friday 3 January 2025

Call for entries of the CinEuro Prize 2025 is now open!

Building on its success, the Prix CinEuro is back again in 2025, with the aim of encouraging the emergence of projects dealing with stories, characters or settings that bear witness to the links between the partner territories* in all their dimensions (economic, political, geographical, societal, cultural…).

This year’s novelty is that Northwestern Switzerland has joined the Prix CinEuro thanks to Balimage, opening up new perspectives for Swiss filmmakers and projects. The CinEuro territory now extends from Reims to Stuttgart and from Brussels to Basel.

The partners behind the Prix CinEuro have a twofold objective: to stimulate the emergence of co-productions by favoring a cross-border approach from the outset, while preserving a strong European identity in the face of increasing standardization of cinematographic and audiovisual content.

Last year, the Prix CinEuro crowned the projects “Helter Skelter” by Paul Vincent de Lestrade (fiction) and “Capitale(s) Europe, la bataille des sièges” by Donato Rotunno (documentary).

More information on the 2024 laurates

*Brussels-Capital Region, Wallonia (including Ostbelgien), Luxembourg, Saarland, Rhineland-Palatinate, Baden-Württemberg, Greater East and North-West Switzerland.

 

Context

CinEuro is a cross-border network of nearly 40 organisations responsible for supporting the film and audiovisual industry in France, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland and Belgium. From 2023, the CinEuro partners decided to support the development of co-productions based on stories linked to the partner territories.

To this end, the Région Grand Est, the Film Fund Luxembourg, the Medien- und Filmgesellschaft Baden-Württemberg, the Saarland Medien GmbH, the Ministerium für Familie, Frauen, Kultur und Integration Rheinland-Pfalz, Wallimage, screen.brussels, Wallonie-Bruxelles International and the Ministerium der Deutschsprachigen Gemeinschaft Belgiens have jointly launched the CinEuro Prize. In 2024, the organizers of the Prize were joined by the Eurometropole of Strasbourg, followed by Balimage for the 2025 edition, which allowed the Prize’s coverage to extend to the Northwestern region of Switzerland.

The aim of this prize is to encourage the emergence of projects dealing with stories, characters or settings that bear witness to the links between the partner territories in all their dimensions (economic, political, geographical, societal, cultural, etc.).

 

Calendar for the CinEuro Prize 2025

  • Submission of applications until February 28, 2025, at 11:59 PM.
  • Notifications regarding the eligibility of applications: mid-March 2025.
  • Announcement of finalists: mid-May 2025.

Film screening: Conann (2023) – FEFFS

As part of the Strasbourg European Fantastic Film Festival, CinEuro invites you to the screening of Connan (2023)!

Join us on Wednesday 27 September at 19:30 at the Star Saint Exupéry cinema for the premiere of Bertrand Mandico’s new feature film, accompanied by the film’s cast and crew! The screening will be preceded by the short film Rainer, a Vicious Dog in a Skull Valley (2023) by the same director.

 

Connan (2023)

France, Belgium, Luxembourg – 2023 – 1h45
VF – Forbidden under 12 – Warning

Director: Bertrand Mandico
Producers: Emmanuel Chaumet, Gilles Chanial, Avi Amar
Screenwriter: Bertrand Mandico
Cast: Elina Löwensohn, Christa Theret, Agata Buzek

 

To the tickets

Synopsis :

Conann watches helplessly as her mother is executed as a child. The proud barbarian will take her revenge and lose her memory before – unfortunately for her – finding it again. Conann presents six periods in the tragic life, in ten-year intervals, of a feminized version of the virile character popularized by Arnold Schwarzenegger, through several faces including that of Christa Theret as a wild young adult. By revisiting Robert E. Howard’s hero with his own unique imagination, the director of Wild Boys and After Blue offers us feminist heroic fantasy at the crossroads of eras and a political charge to denounce all forms of totalitarianism.
