Film Fest Gent will be held 13 to 24 Oct 2020 in Ghent, Belgium. Film Fest Gent every year in October presents some 80 features and 50 shorts from all across the world. A range of different film programs are showcased, attracting over 130,000 viewers each year. With its focus on film music, the festival has its own unique place in international festivals. Every year, the festival organises film music concerts, giving composers of film scores the platform they deserve. Trade paper Variety placed the festival in its top 50 must attend festivals of the world because of this focus on (film)music. Yet there is more to Film Fest Gent than just soundtracks alone. Every year, numerous international guests from the world of film flock to Ghent to present their films to the general public. Film Fest Gent is an event and I like events...
In addition to the screenings, Film Fest Gent also organises film-related exhibitions. Thus the prestigious Stanley Kubrick exhibition, which was previously shown in Berlin, Melbourne and Frankfurt-am-Main, was brought to Ghent before other world cities such as Rome, Paris and London.
