Talkie: BXL

Film Fest Gent Talkies

Film Fest Gent has its own talk show. Every month we invite you to an inspiring conversation about film. Guests from a broad range of disciplines in film and art sit down with our expert Patrick Duynslaegher to discuss the films that have influenced their work and life.

Which films keep popping into your head and won't let you go? During FFG Talkies, five guests talk about films that held a special place in their hearts. Season 2024 is over, but on your favourite podcast app, you can relive the talkies whenever and wherever you want. Only available in Dutch.

During Film Fest Gent, we pick up the thread. On the programme: a series of talks with directors, composers and film experts on thought-provoking themes and fascinating films. The programme will be published mid-September
