Every year in October, the festival presents some 100 features and 30 shorts from all across the world. A range of different film programs are showcased, attracting over 132,000 viewers each year. With its focus on film music, the Ghent Film 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. Since 2001, the Ghent Film Festival has also organised the World Soundtrack Awards, the most prestigious soundtrack awards in the world. Each year, the best soundtrack composers are honoured and receive international recognition for their work. In addition to film screenings, the Ghent Film Festival also organises film-related exhibitions.
The Ghent Film Festival will continue to keep a close watch on international film developments in order to organise a festival that is as captivating as possible. To this end, a fresh, young team works hard day after day.
