Pink Screens explores queer lives and challenges binary ideas of gender and sexuality through fiction, documentary and experimental cinema. Organised by the volunteer-run association Genres d’à côté in Brussels, Belgium, it presents short and feature-length films from Belgium and abroad at Cinema Nova and partner cinemas including Aventure, Galeries and Palace. Screenings sit alongside exhibitions, discussions, performances and the Pink Night party, connecting cinema with other forms of queer artistic expression.

The 25th edition’s main festival dates are 28 October–7 November 2026. Its programme includes more than 170 films and two exhibitions, while a separate retrospective at Cinematek extends throughout November and examines queer cinema of the 1970s and early 1980s.
