Barco Supports 40th Film Fest Gent With Digital Cinema Solutions and Brand-New Concepts

Visualization expert Barco and long-term sponsor of Film Fest Gent (Belgium) is proud to support the 40th edition of this prestigious festival, from 8 to 19 October. As the preferred visualization partner to Film Fest Gent, Barco supplied projectors, a LED display and an interactive voting solution for the Best Belgian Student Short Film Competition. This year’s festival also features collaboration with the legendary Cinema De Keizer in Lichtervelde, thus illustrating Barco’s vision for the ‘Cinema of the Future’ for smaller theaters and art house cinemas. For Film Fest Gent 2013, Barco’s rental partner XL Video installed several projectors, to allow visualization during events and screenings at various festival venues. To welcome the guests of the Kinepolis multiplex, traditionally the heart of the film festival, rental partner Photonics set up a big LiveDots C8 LED display that streams live video content of the red carpet activities. One Kinepolis theater further featured technology from dZine, a Barco company, facilitating a live interactive voting session for the Best Belgian Student Short Film Competition, on Sunday 13 October.
