The Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival (BIFFF), previously named Brussels International Festival of Fantastic Film (French: Festival international du film fantastique de Bruxelles, Dutch: Internationaal Festival van de Fantastische Film van Brussel) was created in 1983 as a venue for horror, thriller and science fiction films. It takes place in Brussels, every year in March. Initially organized by Annie Bozzo, Gigi Etienne, Freddy Bozzo, Georges Delmote and Guy Delmote, it now has prizes in both feature-length and short films, and also hosts an international body-painting competition. The festival is accredited by the FIAPF as a competitive specialised film festival. Winners of the grand prize, the Golden Raven statuette, include Army of Darkness, Radioactive Dreams, and Dog Soldiers.

Human Rights Monument, Brussels

The Human Rights Monument (French: Monument aux Droits de l'Homme; Dutch: Monument voor de Mensenrechten) is a monument in Tour & Taxis Park, in the City of Brussels, Belgium, commemorating the 70th anniversary of the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Inaugurated on 10 December 2018, it was designed by the landscape architect Bas Smets and commissioned by the former Brussels Minister of the Environment and Energy, Céline Fremault. The monument was created to provide a dedicated space for reflection on human rights, addressing the lack of such a space in Brussels. While human rights texts have been displayed in other public areas, such as Parvis de Saint-Gilles/Sint-Gillisvoorplein premetro station, this monument offers a space for deeper contemplation. The design was inspired by Memorial 22/03, a land-art work by Smets honouring victims of the 2016 Brussels bombings, and it aims to serve as a physical representation of human rights. The 12-metre-high (39 ft) obelisk features thirty coloured stone blocks, each inscribed with an article of the UDHR in French, Dutch, German, and English. The colours range from dark at the bottom to light at the top, symbolising the diversity of human rights and cultures. Surrounded by a circle of Scots pines, the monument invites reflection on the values of equality and dignity. The design was developed through consultations with human rights groups, political parties, and architects, emphasising the importance of collaboration and interdisciplinary dialogue. The monument encourages visitors to engage with the principles of human rights and consider their relevance today. Financed by Brussels Environment with a budget of €140,000, the monument was completed in time for Human Rights Day (HRD) in 2018.
