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.

Passage (Serbia) by Filip Markovinović

Short film about crossing over.

Running time: 00:01:00

Searching for the 5th Direction (Switzerland) by Matthias Schüpbach

The search for the self and the memories and emotions associated with it lead us through forgotten and dark places of an inner world. We move in an apparent interactivity, generated by the camera work, through spaces created from around 150 3D scans, torn between curiosity and resistance.

Running time: 00:07:05

Marry, Fuck, Kill (United States) by Ian Berry

Ivan’s life is a disaster. He spends his days lost in his own head, bouncing between porn, target practice, and a hopeless crush on a co-worker he both craves and resents. Inside, his mind runs nonstop, full of self-doubt, bitter humor, and jabs at himself and the world around him. Beneath the jokes and sarcasm, there’s a mess of anger and insecurity that’s getting harder to ignore. This is Ivan: painfully self-aware, painfully stuck, and just beginning to realize that maybe, just maybe, he’s his own worst enemy.

Running time: 01:21:35
