Pink Screens Film Festival 2025

Hold the doors wide open, the queers are coming!

The sassiest festival of the year is back for its 24th edition. Every year, we feel the growing affection of the public: those who have known it forever, our loyal aficionados <3, and those who are discovering its incomparable magic for the first time. You are all welcome, darlings! The festival’s bold colors, yellow and fuchsia, will proudly invade the movie theaters of central Brussels to offer a carefully curated program, extremely varied in terms of content, style, and desires… If you know what we mean! We can’t wait to share Pink Screens, this anthem to creativity and queer freedom, with you.

The program invites audiences to question their own perceptions, broaden their horizons, and consider the experiences of those around them. Love, joy, pain, and pleasure in queer lives will be explored in a series of feature films, as well as in screenings of Belgian and international short films. The Queer Latitudes focus will allow viewers to see and feel the inner conflicts of people whose identities and sensibilities straddle two or more spaces and times. The punk-inspired Queer and Cheap focus will break the most conservative codes of arthouse cinema. It will show the wonders that can be created with a limited budget coupled with an enormous desire to express oneself and come out of the closet. Pink Screens is partnering with Europalia and, in the Hecho en España focus, is honoring this country with four feature films and a selection of fiery, passionate short films.

Don’t forget that Pink Screens also celebrates visual art and performances by queer artists. The bar at Cinema Nova and the cellars at Cinema Galeries will be the venues for these events. There will be plenty of opportunities to chat and exchange ideas with the many guests who will make this edition of the festival unique. But also to celebrate together and sweep away the dullest social conventions! We look forward to seeing each and every one of you, no matter your background, to share in this collective adventure of films that will make you laugh, cry, and see the world differently.
