Discover the rich history of Film Fest Ghent, from the very beginning until now.

Film Fest Ghent organises a ten-day festival and is aware of its ecological and social impact. We show around 150 films during more than 400 screenings, we invite film talent from all over the world to Ghent and we bring a lot of people to the festival. The organisation of the festival thus inevitably generates CO2 emissions. Today, we are already making efforts to keep our ecological footprint as low as possible and our social impact as high as possible, and we are striving for more. We use the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals as a reference point. Do you strive for sustainability together with us?
