Focus on South Korean Cinema - Classics
This small retrospective of the second South Korean New Wave, which began at the turn of the millennium, already shows that Korean cinema has many faces and unfolds a range of styles and personalities.
Creative Partnership: David Lowery & Daniel Hart
With Creative Partnerships, Film Fest Gent shines the spotlight on two exceptional collaborations: between director David Lowery and composer Daniel Hart on the one hand, and between composer Johnny Jewel, mechanic Nico Leunen (ACE) and director Fien Troch on the other. In addition, Lowery & Hart will have their own retrospective.
Between Directors: Céline Sciamma meets Lukas Dhont
Portrait de la jeune fille en feu director Céline Sciamma descends on Film Fest Ghent for a Director's Talk with Lukas Dhont, the director of Close, the festival's opening film. Before the talk, we will screen her latest film Petite maman.
VIDEODROOM Classics
In the VIDEODROOM programme, in collaboration with Kunstencentrum VIERNULVIER, some cult classics will make an appearance, albeit in a new guise. In fact, the films will have a completely new soundtrack that will be performed live.
