Film Fest Gent is presenting the visual campaign for the 52nd edition of the festival, which takes place from Wednesday, 8 October to Sunday, 19 October 2025. The campaign stands out with its bright colours and a hypnotic motion element. New from 2025 is the introduction of the Flanders Film Days, an initiative of the Flanders Audiovisual Fund (VAF), which will precede the festival. The full programme will be announced on 18 September 2025.

Film Fest Gent is thrilled to announce that acclaimed composers Emilie Levienaise-Farrouch and Martin Phipps will take the stage at Minimalism in Motion: Glass, Nyman and Beyond, the festival's highly-anticipated film music concert on 16 October. Following the recent announcement of Philip Glass and Michael Nyman as recipients of a Lifetime Achievement Award for their pioneering contributions to the history of minimal music, the concert will also spotlight Emilie Levienaise-Farrouch and Martin Phipps - two visionary composers redefining minimalism for a new era. Both have been influenced by the minimalist maestros. Live performances of their music will add a contemporary dimension to an evening dedicated to the evolution of minimalist film music.
