The Brussels Independent Film Festival, formerly known as Brussels International Independent Film Festival (French: Festival International du Film Indépendant de Bruxelles), has taken place since 1974 in Brussels, Belgium.[1] It originally focused on Super 8 films, but has since evolved into a showcase for a wide range of independent cinema.[2]

The festival has hosted filmmakers such as Pedro Almodovar, François Ozon, and Nanni Moretti. Its initial incarnation ran for 38 years before funding and resource shortfalls suspended it for a six-year hiatus in 2012, until its revival in 2018.[3]

It was named one of the "Top 50 Best Film Festivals" by Final Cut Magazine.[4]
