It’s zombie time! Director Danny Boyle and screenwriter Alex Garland are teaming up once again for 28 Years Later, the terrifying third installment in the saga that began with 28 Days Later.
Nearly thirty years have passed since the Rage virus escaped from a bioweapons laboratory. Even with strict quarantine measures, some have managed to survive among the infected. One group of survivors has taken refuge on a small island connected to the mainland by a single road and heavily guarded.

BELGICA OBSCURA
BUDASCOOP

Belgium may not be the biggest film country—especially when it comes to genre films—but that doesn't mean there's a lack of strong offerings.
In fact, we're seeing more and more filmmakers who aren’t just flirting with genre cinema, but fully embracing it. The big titles you know might still be countable on one hand, but don’t be fooled—there’s a whole wave of talented filmmakers ready to follow in their footsteps with beautifully crafted (short) films.
Belgica Obscura is the brainchild of curator Wesley Remory, who, together with our regular selection team, presents a Belgian short film program.
This time, we’re bringing this unique selection to Budascoop in Kortrijk.
