Experiencing Interruptions?

BOS

The forest is suspiciously quiet. The wind rustles softly through the leaves, the sun reflects on the moist soil, no animals can be seen. The only thing that disturbs this peace is the panting of two jogging teenagers. When they reach an open space, the tension suddenly arises.

Director Biography - Steffen Geypens

Besides working as a Post Producer for award-winning production company Caviar, Steffen decided to return to his original passion a few years ago. His previous shorts 'Hold Back' and 'Silent Campine' got selected for more than 100 festivals worldwide and received numerous awards. His third short in four years, BOS, is an experimental coming-of-age mystery that will take your breath away. Steffen is currently developing two feature films that will further explore the mysterious horror vibe of his recent shorts. One of them is VAL, based upon the critically acclaimed novel by Flemish writer Roderik Six and selected by the European Genre Forum 2020.

Director Statement

BOS has been described as 'poetic eco horror' influenced by Jonathan Glazer's work. It's a reflection on the power of nature and its destruction by mankind, with the dark and obvious observation that those who'll suffer the consequences are the youth of today.
