Here you can find the latest updates on Ostend Film Festival and the latest film and television news.

The nominated films form the basis for the debate, "What does this selection say about our audiovisual landscape?"

Ostend has a wide range of hotels and great places to eat. Because there is too much Ostend for one day, we like to inspire you with the best places.

For nine days, visitors and professionals can enjoy more than a hundred films, B2B and industry events spread over three locations. To make this all possible, we can count on our enthusiastic volunteers.

Both nationally and internationally, Ostend Film Festival (FFO) plays an important role in the film industry . Every year FFO brings together (inter)national film professionals in Ostend during various film screenings and industry events.

Many young talents take their first steps in the film industry through short films. The Ostend Film Festival also gives new makers the chance to present fresh, surprising and aesthetic productions to the general public and, since 2018, organises a competition for Flemish short films.

With Earcatch and Subcatch, we make films more accessible than ever.

All new films screened during FFO stand a chance of winning the Nationale Loterij Audience Award.

New filmmakers are rewarded in the SOON!-competition.

Our organization consists of a small core team of employees who have a great love for film and Ostend that expands annually leading up to the festival.

Registrations for the upcoming edition of the Ostend Film Festival (FFO) are closed.

For film directors and screenwriters - an intensive five-day short film development writing workshop.
