The Le Festival Ramdam, one of the known film festivals in Belgium has been cancelled following a serious terrorist threat. The festival was scheduled from January 21-27th at Tournai, Belgium was called off after receiving a series of terrorist threats from nowhere.

Law authorities in the city claimed that the attack threat was at a ‘very high level’, and the event has been called off for the betterment of public security. The Police has already evacuated the Imagix theater, and they are planning it to close till January 28th.

The inclusion of Abderrahmane Sissako‘s Oscar-nominated feature ‘Timbuktu’ in the screening lineup is considered to be the main reason behind the terrorist threat. The film showcases the dreaded deeds of militant Islamic rebels in West Africa. Acclaimed documentary, ‘Essence of Terror’ was also the part of screening lineup.

After the Charlie Hebdo attack, even the minute terrorist threat has been dealt seriously by the officials throughout Europe.
