The information was disclosed via tweeter by BIFFF. The tweet read thus: “Let horror only be on screen! The festival will take place starting next week.”
In a similar vein, the BIFFF festival director Guy Delmote confirmed that if the festival is to be cancelled this year, it would face an uncertain future.
Delmote said: “It could be the end of the festival, if we stop,” he said. “If it doesn’t happen this year it is going to be hard, [given] all the money we’ve spent already.”
The festival will open on 29 March as planned with a screening of Lily James and Sam Riley comedy horror Pride And Prejudice And Zombies.
The centre also posted a message on its website featuring the Belgian flag saying: “Bozar, as an arts centre that is open to everyone, attaches great importance to its fundamental values, that’s why we are open since this morning. A big welcome.”
A number of cinemas and cultural buildings were closed on Tuesday after the attacks as the city went into lockdown.
The Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium remained closed on Wednesday, as was the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences and the Royal Museums for Art and History.
