The closing night of last year's festival was the start of the rescue mission for Brussels former sex cinema: ABC Cinema. In no time, € 60,000 was collected by the Cineact foundation, consisting of members of Offscreen, Cinema Nova and La Retine de Plateau. However, the sudden death of the owner led to a still ongoing juridical battle with the heirs.

“Cine 70's”, the program that would have been the first public reopening of the ABC during Nuit Blanche, was forced to be held on the pavement, in front of the theatre's padlocked doors. This cancelled party will finally be celebrated at Offscreen. While the cinema may not have been saved (yet), Cinema Nova did manage to salvage more than 600 films. It will be a tribute to the ABC featuring steamy films, vintage porn trailers, filmed testimonies, surprise acts and musical intermezzi, to turn into a wickedly funky 70's party after midnight.

Entry is free for contributors to the ABC project (in which case, please let us know by ✉mail so that we're able to take the number of expected spectators into account, and come early!). All others we'll ask a small contribution for a long, hot evening filled with naughty film pleasure.

Only a fixed amount of seats is offered as presale. There will still be tickets for sale at the ticket booth on the hour of the show. However, it is advisable to be on time.
