Film Fest Gent

Festival

11~22 October 2016

Kinepolis, Gent ICC
Leeuwstraat 40b, 9000 Gent

Description:
The programme of the 43rd edition of Film Fest Gent is inspired by cinema from two different corners of the earth: starting with the most northern point of Europe for its Focus on Nordic Cinema and ending in the Far East for the Spotlight on Japan.

From the Swedish invasion of Hollywood in the silent film era to Denmark's Dogma 95 movement: the Nordic region has made formidable contributions to world cinema. Because of this, with its Focus on Nordic Cinema, Film Fest Gent aims to look beyond the ‘krimi-wave' the region is currently most known for. The Nordic Focus is emphasised by the festivals central campaign image, depicting one of the greatest movie stars the region has ever know: Greta Garbo.

Within the framework of the 150th birthday of the diplomatic relations between Japan and Belgium in 2016, Film Fest Gent is putting a Spotlight on Japan this upcoming October for its rich history in cinema.
