For the third time in a row, Flemish movie theatres are celebrating the new film year. De Cinema joins the fun with a unique full-day programme. One ticket allows access to all screenings on Sunday, 6 October! The short film installment is presented in collaboration with Kortfilm.be and bridges Fritz Lang’s dystopian Metropolis (1927) with the industrial cityscapes from Koyaaniqatsi (1982).

On the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere, many festivals and film organisations celebrate International Short Film Day. In honor of this, De Cinema, in collaboration with Kortfilm.be, revisits this wordless but rhythmic short film programme focusing on machinery and architecture.

This short film programme illustrates the liberating power of cinema in a reflective, sometimes activist way. In each of the films, characters, filmmakers, and viewers search for order and freedom—a longer journey that takes us past Nepal, Tanzania, Palestine, and Tunisia.

From the more than 250 short films that will be shown from April 24 to May 4 during the Brussels Short Film Festival, our editorial team chose five for the “best-of” programme Kortfilm.be Selects. Come discover them on May 3 in Flagey.

On November 3rd, Kortfilm.be presents a guest programme at the Breedbeeld Short Film Festival at De Cinema in Antwerp, featuring four short films by filmmakers who each, in their own way, take a look at their fellow human beings.

During the 26th edition of Brussels Short Film Festival, the editorial team of Kortfilm.be will present its favourite films from the entire festival programme. Join us on the last day of the fest to discover what you've missed!

Much in life is seasonal. These four very different short films borrow textures and iconography from a specific season, telling a very different story each. A programme of four seasons in a day.

A programme of short films by female filmmakers who, in their work, engage in self-reflection.

For the very first time, Agence belge du court métrage, Dalton Distribution, Short Screens and Kortfilm.be join forces to celebrate the short film medium.
