COURTS MAIS TRASH

Courts + Queer Mais Trash – 20 Years already!

Since 2005, COURTS MAIS TRASH has been celebrating underground, offbeat and independent short films. For our 20th anniversary, we’re going big with an XXL edition!

To welcome more of you and ensure everyone’s safety, we are moving to Espace Magh, right in the heart of Brussels, just a few steps from Manneken Pis. A new hall with 350 seats and a spacious lobby await you for 9 days of festivities!

Save the Date: Queer Mais Trash from January 31 to February 2!

Three intense days exploring LGBTQIA+ themes and the feminist Female Trouble screenings. On the programme: inclusive, edgy and sexy films as well as legendary events, including the long-awaited return of Bingo Mais Trash, hosted by Edna Sorgelsen.

Then, get ready for Courts Mais Trash from February 4 to 9!

A special edition packed with best-of selections, surprises, a major exhibition, professional events, school screenings and, of course, our unforgettable After Trash parties!
