COURTS MAIS TRASH

Courts + Queer Mais Trash – 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!

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

Trois jours intenses pour explorer les thématiques LGBTQIA+ et les séances féministes “Female Trouble”. Au programme : des films inclusifs, engagés et sexy, ainsi que des événements légendaires, dont le retour tant attendu du Bingo Mais Trash animé par 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!
