Red carpet

At and on our red carpet, everyone is welcome! Do not hesitate to step onto the red steps and capture your visit to Film Fest Gent in style in front of our photo wall.

Then be sure to come and watch them at our red carpet at Kinepolis Ghent (Ter Platen 12, 9000 Ghent - every evening from 7pm). Don't forget your camera!
