World Soundtrack Awards Ceremony & Concert

Since establishing the World Soundtrack Academy, Film Fest Gent has presented the prestigious annual World Soundtrack Awards for film music, a celebration of film music worldwide. The winners are announced during the World Soundtrack Awards Ceremony and Concert. At the concert, Brussels Philharmonic, conducted by Maestro Dirk Brossé, performs a selection of music by the guests of honour, the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award and the reigning Discovery of the Year winner.

Film Music Concert

Live music is a crucial part of Film Fest Gent's identity. That is why the festival organises an annual thematic concert revolving around the work of one composer, country or subject. From the work of Avatar-composer James Horner to music written for video games, this yearly concert explores all corners of the film music universe.

The 2025 Film Music Concert will be announced in April.

Featuring live music and performances, this bold initiative presents the film canon in a new, experimental light, offering a fresh perspective on the classics and in the process creating an unforgettable experience.
