Film Fest Gent
Ghent's international film festival is especially interesting if you listen closely to film music. Screenings and the World Soundtrack Awards connect cinema with its composers.
Why go
The festival began in 1974 as a way to show films outside regular cinema programmes, then developed a distinct interest in how music shapes film. That makes it a useful choice for visitors who want more than a screening: its soundtrack focus gives a reason to follow the programme across films and music events.
Useful to know
Check the current festival programme before planning travel; films, venues and music events change by edition.
If soundtrack work is your main interest, compare film screenings with the World Soundtrack Awards programme.
