Shortscreen 2025

Shortscreen is Kortfilm.be’s annual appointment with genre cinema. In collaboration with the Brussels film festival Offscreen, on March 26, we present a short film programme consisting of recent work in the colours of the festival: edgy and surprising.

The programme offers a concise but eclectic sampling of short genre films. This year we mix Caroline Poggi and Jonathan Vinel’s harsh social critique in The Exploding Girl with the existential musings from the animated short Tako Tsubo and seek an interface between dance and horror in She Stays and between queer camp and B-movie kitsch in Peter Strickland’s Blank Narcissus. The impressionistic Hexham Heads, a mysterious ghost story from Belgium, closes the evening.
