“Do you expect me to talk?”
“No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to SING!”
In celebration of the 20th anniversary of 'Casino Royale', a diverse group of Belgian artists will pay a unique tribute to the film music of the James Bond universe. Around 13 artists have each chosen one Bond theme song to cover—some sticking close to the original, others taking a more unrecognizable approach.
Expect everything from stripped-down piano versions and unconventional Dutch-language covers to moody electronics, and who knows what else.
We will drop the full lineup all at once at the end of this summer.
Afterwards, we will celebrate the closing party of Videodroom and Film Fest Gent in our café and ballroom, featuring a packed lineup of live performances and DJs, all completely in Bond theme.

Before the screening of a selection of classic cult films accompanied by (new) live soundtracks, we’ll be chatting to one or more guests who are die-hard fans of the film. From insights into film history to personal declarations of love for the film or genre in question.
Videodroom Talks are free for anyone with a ticket to the screening.
