Film Fest Gent will also screen 'Remember' the latest film by Atom Egoyan, starring Christopher Plummer.
Patrick Duynslaegher: "If you browse through Plummer’s overwhelming filmography on IMDb you get slightly dizzy at his no less than 204 credits, which include live TV, television series, TV films, feature films, plays on Broadway and London’s West End and voice overs in animated films and video games. Plummer is also one of the nine actors to have received the highest distinctions in the worlds of film (Oscar), television (Emmy) and theatre (Tony Award). A few highlights from his filmography include: ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’, ‘Beginners’, ‘The Last Station’, ‘A Beautiful Mind’, ‘The Sound of Music’. Although blessed with the instantly recognisable face of a character actor, he is a genuine chameleon who steps into the shoes of the most diverse range of historic and mythical characters."
In 'Remember', the latest film from his fellow countryman Atom Egoyan, who presented 'Devil's Knot' and 'The Captive' at the 41st Film Fest Gent, Plummer plays a Nazi hunter plagued by dementia. He does it with a precision and finesse that make it abundantly clear how much he still enjoys his work, and that he has no intention of giving up his passion just yet.
24 October in Kinepolis Gent, Studio Skoop, Sphinx, Vooruit, KASKcinema, Music Centre Bijloke and Kuipke. Info and tickets on www.filmfestival.be.
Starman Records is proud to announce that the new album "Zin" by Aroma Di Amore will be released in early 2016!
Aroma Di Amore, already active since the early 80s is undoubtedly a figurehead of the Belgian alternative music scene. The band that consists of guitarist Fred Angst, bassist Lo Meulen and singer Elvis Peeters still combine in 2015 guitars and electronics, rock, punk and chansons with brilliant, razor-sharp lyrics of singer / author Elvis Peeters.

De groep rond gitarist Fred Angst, bassist Lo Meulen en zanger Elvis Peeters staat anno 2015 nog steeds voor een weerbarstige combinatie van gitaren en electronica, tussen rock, punk en desolaat chanson gekruid met de briljante, vlijmscherpe teksten van zanger/auteur Elvis Peeters.
Na “Samizdat” uit 2012 verschijnt er met “Zin” nu eindelijk nieuw werk en meteen ook hun meest divers album tot nu toe. De verschijnt CD op 17 januari 2016 en een maand later, op 27 februari, wordt het live voorgesteld in de AB, Brussel, waarna een uitgebreide tour volgt doorheen de Benelux.

Transgressive Records are proud to announce Berlin's instrumental collective s t a r g a z e have signed to the label, anointing their partnership with the stunning EP Deerhoof Chamber Variations.
Deerhoof Chamber Variations is devised as a continuous piece of instrumental music, based on 9 1/2 songs which drummer and composer Greg Saunier originally wrote for his acclaimed band Deerhoof.
Different from most other band and orchestra/classical collaborations Greg himself arranged and recomposed the material for a classical chamber ensemble, using exactly the same notes as in the originals while rearranging the songs structurally, in a kind of miniaturizing and abstracting way. Watch the new video for 'Data' below...
