The Ghent Film Week is often referred to as Europe's most obscure film festival. An island oasis for art amidst a sea of commercialism. Sure, it's modest in form, as we mainly focus on screening films and less on the glitter and glamour. The festival focuses on contemporary cinema and video art and places its films where they belong – within the vibrant context of other art forms.


Silhouette (Germany) by Friedrich Ludmann

The stop-motion animation commemorates the attack on the World Trade Centre in New York on 11 September 2001 – 25 years ago. In this terrorist attack, two aeroplanes, which had been hijacked by Islamist

suicide bombers, crashed into the two skyscrapers, causing them to collapse. 3,000 people lost their lives.

Running time: 00:00:27


I Spy With My Little Eye (Germany) by Alisa Kolosova

Three friends in their early thirties reconnect at the ice‑cream parlor of their childhood, each standing at a crossroads in life. When Solveigh dies shortly afterwards, Yalda and Lou are left to navigate the fallout: unresolved tensions, diverging memories, and the unexpected responsibility of caring for Solveigh’s young daughter.

Running time: 01:35:00
