A milestone celebration filled with new projects, inspiring encounters and international creativity

Mark your calendars — the BIF Market 2026 is on its way.
From April 13 to 17, 2026, Brussels will once again become the meeting point for the international genre film industry, while our online platform will open from April 7 to May 8, 2026, extending the experience to professionals across the globe.

Next year marks a special occasion: the 10th edition of the BIF Market.
A decade of connections, collaborations and creativity — and a perfect moment to celebrate how far the genre community has come together. This new edition will offer an enriched programme, exceptional participants, and plenty of opportunities to discover, share and shape the future of fantastic cinema.

Over the years, the BIF Market has grown into a space where producers, distributors, institutions and creators can meet and build real partnerships. The 2026 edition will honour that spirit, while continuing to explore new paths for collaboration and innovation.

Whether onsite in Brussels or online from anywhere in the world, get ready to join us for five days of meetings, screenings and creative exchange — a celebration of all things fantastic.

Stay tuned for submissions opening later this year, and be part of this anniversary edition that promises to bring the global genre community together once again.

Because in 2026, the fantastic turns ten — and the story continues.
