We have a new edition of Belgica Obscura, a special program in collaboration with Razor Reel Flanders Film Festival in Bruges, in store for you!

A rare thing, Belgian genre films and their makers, yet they exist! This year too, some brave ones managed to realise their dreams and visions in the form of diverse short films, all within the fantastic genre. Belgica Obscura collected for you a selection from their country’s modest offer. Over the years, Belgica Obscura managed to collect nearly 200 Belgian horror (co)productions, going from big budget pictures, student films, to inevitable homemade splatter and amateur flicks. Vampires, psychopaths, aliens, demons, zombies, even cardboard prehistoric creatures and more! They will bring you a small selection of short films to show you the diversity of what Belgica Obscura stands for. We have heard that there aren’t that many dinosaurs, vampires and zombies this time, but at least now we’ve got your attention!

Recall

In the early 2000s, scientists developed a dangerous time amendment program called RECALL. It allows desperate individuals to alter their recent history by creating a second timeline. Natan wants to save Hannah from death. He hopes to survive the RECALL program long enough, to create a timeline where they are back together.

This movie examines a period in modern Belgian history which is as heavily mocked as it is revered: the wave of UFO sightings recorded at the end of the 80s.

Hotel Poseidon

Hotel Poseidon volgt 24 uur in het leven van Dave (Tom Vermeir), een uitgebluste veertiger die in het bouwvallige hotel van zijn overleden vader woont. Hij vult er zijn dagen met luisteren naar ruis op een oude walkman, het ontlopen van zijn dominante moeder (Tania Van der Sanden) en het incasseren van vernederingen door zijn vriendin (Ruth Becquart). Dave wil liefst met rust worden gelaten... maar de komst van een mysterieuze gast (Anneke Sluiters) en een onbetrouwbare vriend (Dominique Van Malder) zet een reeks magische en surreële gebeurtenissen in gang... A day in the life of reluctant hotel owner Dave – a man troubled by nightmares, his neighbor, his friends and love. Dave’s existence is hopeless. His days and nights blend into each other as he wanders vacantly through the halls of the abandoned and dilapidated Hotel Poseidon, which he inherited from his deceased father. When a young woman knocks on the hotel’s door looking for a room, while Dave’s best friend wants to throw a party in the backroom and a recurring dream haunts him, a surreal and grisly ordeal is set in motion.
