The Brussels International Film Festival (BRIFF) is returning to its usual summer setting on the occasion of its 5th edition, unspooling from 23 June to 2 July in the heart of the Belgian capital. The line-up includes over thirty films as yet unseen in Belgium, as well as three competitions, three thematic sections (a focus on French film, and notably its recovery, a tribute to Italian cinema from the 50s and 60s, and a special selection dedicated to Fanny Ardant), open air screenings, workshops and professional gatherings.
