Film Fest Gent

Saleh Kashefi is an Iranian filmmaker who has taken refuge in Switzerland. He decides to attack Ali Khamanei, Iran’s Supreme Leader, out of a desire to “play a role” in the uprising in his native country because “he has affected every second of [his] life.”

Film Fest Ghent presents a retrospective of Portuguese filmmaker and writer Isadora Neves Marques. Her oeuvre addresses many urgent themes, such as biopolitics, gender, and technology. She calls her work subtle sci-fi that, through criticism, attempts to imagine a better future.
