Videodroom is the annual creative "dream date" between Film Fest Gent and Arts Centre VIERNULVIER: a distinctive blend of eclectic music and equally eclectic cult cinema. Each year, a selection of obscure films is given a newly composed soundtrack.

Music is woven into the very fabric of Film Fest Gent, not only through the World Soundtrack Awards, but also through a film lineup rich in compelling stories about the music scene in all its diverse hues and sounds.

This is the heart and soul of the festival. In this section, you will discover a diverse collection of films from all corners of the globe, created by both seasoned directors and fresh, emerging talent.

Great art and great artists deserve the big screen. Dive into the lives and work of figures such as author Siri Hustvedt, filmmaker Chris Marker, the musicians of the Harlem Renaissance, and the fashion rebels of the Antwerp Six.

The International Short Film Competition, the Belgian Student Short Film Competition, and a retrospective highlight both the importance and the quality of the short film format.

Immerse yourself, together with curator Patrick Duynslaegher, in the highlights of film history, featuring seminal classics, recent restorations, and films that have undeservedly faded from collective memory.

Film Fest Gent goes Kidsproof! With this selection of magical, educational, and heartwarming film screenings, the festival caters to the youngest film fans and their families every year.

In this section, we focus on filmmakers who deserve special attention, taking a broad look at their work and their influence on the film landscape over the years. This year, the Argentine collective El Pampero Cine and queer film icon Barbara Hammer are featured.
