Especially for the occasion, the Internationaal Filmfestival expands the festival's retrospective with even more classic films from both the recent and more distant past. As never before, the festival is present throughout the city with screenings not only in the well-known cinema complexes, but also in Kunstencentrum Vooruit, the Vlaamse Opera, the Kopergietery, Shopping Center Gent-Zuid, Hotel Sofitel Gent Belfort and the Openbare Bibliotheek. Under the name 'Hollywood Boulevard', the shops in the city centre decorate their shop windows around the theme of cinema.
