to me Brussels International Film Festival (BRIFF) He barely had time to prepare for two editions in late June, when the Covid crisis forced her to postpone his date until the end of the summer. However, the team behind this fourth edition is fully committed to making national and international films shine in the heart of the European capital and bringing the changing world to the big screen.

Indeed, the world in need of change seems to be the leitmotif of ten films selected for international competition that have been discovered at various festivals, from Cannes to Berlin, San Sebastian and European titles. abyss [+see also:
