The 27th International Film Festival of Flanders-Ghent will take place this year from October 10 to 21. During this edition, music will once again take center stage. Two unique world creations are on the programme for this year's edition. Hans Zimmer will perform his creations during the opening of the festival. In addition, composer Henning Lohner will perform his new music to the 1924 classic "Orlacs Hände" by director Robert Wiene (Das Cabinett des Dr. Caligari) live during the film's projection on October 20. For the first time, this year's festival will launch a video library containing a large portion of the films selected for the program.
