Director

Arno Pluquet

From 1996 until today, 33 violent murders are perpetrated during the Halloween period in Belgium by a serial killer who calls himself "the clown". We are on the eve of Halloween. Vincent hates this party and for good reason: his father committed suicide during this period. That morning, he receives a call from his friend Alice to babysit her cats because she has to be away for a few days. On the way, he realizes that he is being chased by a strange, masked man. Very quickly, he realizes that this stranger covered in a clown mask is prowling around Alice's place, determined to enter.

Hotel Poseidon volgt 24 uur in het leven van Dave (Tom Vermeir), een uitgebluste veertiger die in het bouwvallige hotel van zijn overleden vader woont. Hij vult er zijn dagen met luisteren naar ruis op een oude walkman, het ontlopen van zijn dominante moeder (Tania Van der Sanden) en het incasseren van vernederingen door zijn vriendin (Ruth Becquart). Dave wil liefst met rust worden gelaten... maar de komst van een mysterieuze gast (Anneke Sluiters) en een onbetrouwbare vriend (Dominique Van Malder) zet een reeks magische en surreële gebeurtenissen in gang... A day in the life of reluctant hotel owner Dave – a man troubled by nightmares, his neighbor, his friends and love. Dave’s existence is hopeless. His days and nights blend into each other as he wanders vacantly through the halls of the abandoned and dilapidated Hotel Poseidon, which he inherited from his deceased father. When a young woman knocks on the hotel’s door looking for a room, while Dave’s best friend wants to throw a party in the backroom and a recurring dream haunts him, a surreal and grisly ordeal is set in motion.

After an argument and fight with a wealthy one night stand in a posh hotel, young hustler Chris finds himself trapped inside. With nowhere to go and the cops closing in on the hotel fast, he wanders into "Suite 16" in a fit of despair. Inside, a handicapped and wheelchair-bound Glover (Pete Postlethwaite) is held captive for the evening once discovered by Chris. However, things change the next day when Glover informs Chris that the woman he slept with is now dead; and that he surely will be sought out for her murder. Lonely and bored, Glover offers to shelter Chris for awhile while the cuts and bruises from the previous nights' escapades have time to heal.

Shazzula

Black-and-white film from Belgian director, music producer and performer SHAZZULA (BLACK MASS RISING) who made video clips for ELECTRIC WIZARD and her own band WOLVENNEST.
The footage was initially made for a music video of a band named OX, and officially released late march 2019.
RHIZOM in the meantime was made for a festival as a performance video at Rote Fabrik in Zürich, Switzerland and is way more techno than earlier work. She deforms, twists and experiments with this material and composes these infernal and stroboscopic images that take us from darkness to light. She promises: "I want it all to be dark, aggressive, violent, mad, surrealist...and epileptic !" The screening will begin with a short films compilation and introduced by Shazzula!
