Film Fest Gent presents a new educational project, an interactive workshop in which pupils in the two last years of secondary education learn to watch the films of Martin Scorsese together with Gerrit Vosters of the non-profit association Filmstof. What makes Scorsese one of the most influential directors in film history, both in terms of content and form? What are recurrent elements in his films and how does he distinguish himself from other directors? The workshop ends with a visit of the exhibition at the Provincial centre for culture Caermersklooster. Participating teachers can visit the exhibition free of charge on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 October. Associations and other groups can also book this workshop.

From 11 October 2013 the Ghent Film Festival will pay tribute to Martin Scorsese with a spectacular retrospective at the Provincial centre for culture Caermersklooster. The titles in his impressive filmography evoke a unique world and style, which everyone recognises from the first shot. A world of explosive violence but in which catharsis also has its place, in which crime and punishment are a theme, which is intensely portrayed by an expressionist and his camera. The first major retrospective about Scorsese was largely created based on his private collection in New York, as well as the collections of Robert De Niro and Paul Schrader.
