}} 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. History1974–1978The 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. Dubrulle, who was active in film production and communication, was asked to expand the festival's scope some more and develop an organisational structure. 1978–1984A non-profit organization was founded in 1979 to support the festival as the governments (the city of Ghent, the county of Eastern Flanders and the national government) participated more in the event. The festival became an established event which enjoyed growing interest. Because of the structure, organized funding was made possible and helped the festival blossom. John Bultinck, also a renowned cinephile was the first president. Due to internationalization, the program was further expanded from 1979 to 1983. Foreign producers were invited to Ghent. Among them were King Hu, Maximilian Schell and Bertrand Tavernier. The arrival of a new cinema complex in 1981 with spacious rooms, huge screens and state of the art sound systems enabled the festival to grow even more. The program contained up to 100 films. In 1983, the association was renamed the International Film Festival of Flanders - Ghent . 1984–1992In 1985, the festival took a fresh start because of a permanent team that continually worked on the festival and created a long-term vision. The main theme of the festival was launched in that same year: the impact of music on film. No other festival in the world has the same focus on film music. Its specific emphasis on film music enabled the festival to cross the traditional borders of film projection by organizing concerts dedicated to and performed by internationally renowned film composers such as Ennio Morricone, Georges Delerue, Jean-Claude Petit, Nicola Piovani, Peer Raben, Stanley Myers, Carl Davis, Bruce Broughton and Michael Nyman. 1993–2000The Flanders International Film Festival -Ghent came to be Belgium's biggest festival with a varied film program covering all film genres and styles. Since the nineties, the international interest grew as well as the foreign guests and European and world premieres. In 1993 the festival was appointed Cultural Ambassador of Flanders. In terms of content, the festival followed the latest trends, both artistically and technically. The new media were introduced in 1996. In 1998 the festival was designated Ambassador of Ghent. 2001–2007The Ghent Film Festival was the first in the world to emphasize the importance of film music. Besides the international competition for the ' impact of music on film " - classical concerts , silent film screenings with live music and seminars on film music - the festival organized the World Soundtrack Awards for the first time in 2001. These awards are an initiative of the World Soundtrack Academy which was established in that same year. It is an organization that aims to oversee the educational, cultural and professional aspects linked to film music and sound. The composition competition for young European composers was added to the World Soundtrack Awards in 2002. 2007–todayThanks to the commitment and vision of many, the Ghent Film Festival has grown into an organization with a strong national and international reputation. Renowned journals such as Variety [1] have acknowledged the importance of the Ghent Film Festival. The emphasis on film music thereby ensures its own identity and a solid base of over 130,000 visitors. The film program includes
