FFG is looking for Flemish film projects
01 Aug 2022
Are you working on a film project, but still looking for a composer? 3rd Character will make the introduction! This initiative facilitates meetings between film music composers and duos of directors & producers who are working on a project without a composer attached. This year, the meetings will take place at FIFF Namur.
Plus Parcours
Every year, Film Fest Gent invites film lovers to a series of afternoon films, offering them more than just another regular screening. This selection challenges with films from all over the world and aims to be a guide in the overwhelming offer. Host is no other than film connoisseur Roel Van Bambost, who introduces every film to the audience. After the screening you can enjoy coffee and sweets at advantageous rates in the Film Fest Café!
Film Fest Gent and VIERNULVIER present: VIDEODROOM 2022
17 Aug 2022
VIDEODROOM is the annual creative dream date between Film Fest Gent and Kunstencentrum VIERNULVIER. It can best be described as a quirky mix of eclectic music and cult cinema. From 12 October to 22 October, unique audiovisual performances and newly composed scores to obscure films will be presented. Once again, VIDEODROOM 2022 will be a thrilling alternative trip through the nights of Film Fest Gent.
Explore Zone
The films in our Explore Zone understand what it is like to be young now. They reflect the world of Gen Z and the last remnants of Millennials and stimulate all their senses. Our own youth jury is happy to be charmed by these films and yearly presents the Explore Award.
LGBTQIA+
Films under a rainbow flag. These essential stories highlight the LGBTQIA+ community, celebrate equality and often challenge (the still present) lack of tolerance.
Competition
Which films are destined to be the winners of FFG2024? One thing is certain: you will find them in this astute selection of films of all genres and styles. Our international jury will award the Grand Prix for Best Film and the Georges Delerue Award for Best Soundtrack or Sound Design.
Shorts
Two short film competitions and a retrospective underline the importance and quality of the shorter format. The International Short Film Jury selects winners in both the International Short Film Competition and the Competition for Belgian Student Shorts.
Gala & Specials
