Yesterday, I got the chance to watch two movies. Both The Pool: and Cut Off (aka Abgeshnitten): were a fun watch and well recommended.

The festival in general has a fun vibe. The volunteers working at the festival all excel in friendliness and helpfulness. The crowd is noisy, but cheerful. Whenever a director comes on before a screening, he is cheerfully pushed into singing a song. Also: if you understand a bit of French and if you enjoy a bit of gallows humor, you're in for a few laughs. Example? Whenever a character calls out for someone or says are you there, people in the crowd do a mock yoo-hoo. Or how about this one: in The Pool, the main character's dead dog is hanging from a chain. He somehow uses the dog to pull himself up. When they face each other, a dude yells out in French: give it a kiss, dude!

So in short: if you are in Brussels around early to mid april, pop up and catch a bit of BIFFF. The current location (BOZAR) can also serve as an incentive. :)
