COURTS MAIS TRASH

Courts and Queer Mais Trash 2025 – 20 Years Already!

Since 2005, Courts Mais Trash has celebrated underground, offbeat, and independent short films. For our 20th anniversary, we’re going big with an XXL edition! **SCOOP:** To welcome more of you and ensure everyone’s safety, we’re moving to Espace Magh, right in the heart of Brussels, just a few steps from Manneken Pis. A new 350-seat venue and a spacious lobby await you for 9 days of festivities!

There’s still time to submit your films and compete for a prize of €2,500!

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

Three intense days to explore LGBTQIA+ themes and the feminist “Female Trouble” screenings. On the agenda: inclusive, bold, and sexy films, along with legendary events, including the much-anticipated 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!

If you love Courts Mais Trash and Queer But Trash and want to lend a hand during the festival, contact us at courtsmaistrash@gmail.com with “volunteer” in the subject line!

See you soon, and take care,

The Courts Mais Trash Team
