Film Fest Gent, previously the Flanders International Film Festival Ghent (Dutch: ''Internationaal Film Festival van Vlaanderen – Gent'') is an annual international film festival in Ghent. It was created in 1974 and is acknowledged by the FIAPF as a competitive festival specialized in the impact that music has on film. Parallel to the film competition are the World Soundtrack Awards which are being handed out to film composers since 2001. ==History== === 1974-1978 === The first festival edition was organized in 1974 and called 'Filmgebeuren van Gent' (Film Happening of Ghent). The cinema Studio Skoop and the Universitaire Film Club (university film club) wanted to program movies which did not make it to the regular cinemas because of their content and style. 18 provocative films were shown during the festival's first edition thereby shocking the establishment by breaking taboos and covering new topics. This initiative launched some new names and concepts thereby forming the base of a film festival that offers a wide range of world cinema. The driving force behind the earliest editions of the festival was the erudite Ben Ter Elst, owner of the Studio Skoop at the square of St Anna. He often gave a verbal introduction to many noncommercial and unknown but brilliant films. As the festival got more and more successful, the organization was taken over by Jacques Dubrulle. Since then the name of Ben Ter Elst was not mentioned. By 1978 the program had expanded to 50 films that were subdivided in several categories. The strictly cinephile programming gave way to a broader range of films and also to a focus on education. In 1978 the festival expanded so vastly that a more solid structure was required. Financial and organizational problems and the changing international film landscape required substantial adjustments. Jacques Dubrulle, who was active in film production and communication, was asked to expand the festival's scope some more and develop an organizationals structure. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Flanders International Film Festival Ghent」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
