Frequently asked questions
-
Do visitors have to wear a mask? And what about social distancing rules?
Film Fest Ghent follows the current guidelines enforced by the Belgian government. Visitors have to wear a mask up to the Covid Safe Ticket checkpoint. The official guidelines also require you to respect the social distancing rules while queuing. After the verification of your ID and Covid Safe Ticket, you no longer have to wear a mask and the social distancing rules no longer apply (both inside and outside). In the screening rooms, there is no need to leave empty seats between the different bubbles. We do ensure the safety of our visitors by providing alcohol gel. Our staff will wear a mask and they will also keep the necessary distance from the visitors.
