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.
In My Body (Netherlands) by Annelien Nijland
Cindy (34) describes herself as a peaceful person who can switch to "psycho." By night, she works in nightlife; by day, she trains for the world’s first all-female “No Rules” fight in an underground German fight club. She believes women should toughen up and learn to fight back. In rare moments of rest—usually while smoking outside the nightclub—Cindy reveals a glimpse of her softer side.
Running time: 00:28:46
The Accident (Italy) by Giuseppe Garau
After being fired, Marcella, a gentle hearted mother going through separation, buys a tow truck; she gets trapped deeper and deeper in a cynical and aggressive world until a terrible opportunity shines in front of her.
Running time: 01:06:00
