Ghent in Motion (2018), hidden pearl of Flanders, Belgium. (4,5') 4K AERIAL DRONE MOVIE
Do you remember ‘Ghent in Motion’? In this film project in 2013, we were the pioneers of capturing Ghent from the air, using drones. Today, five years later, both the city and the audiovisual techniques have evolved to such an extent that a sequel was required.
Just like 'Ghent in Motion', 'Ghent from the Sky' again pushes the boundaries to an upper level. Better cameras and lenses allowed us to make breathtaking, sharp and even more profound images of our beautiful city of Ghent.
In the summer of 2017, our cameras flew over the city for twenty days. In the devoted and seamlessly edited result, the medieval city center and the Ghentian architecture play the leading role.
With this film, a digital postcard in the year 2018, which is part of the documentary 'Ghentian', we want you to enjoy our beautiful city in all its glory.

Gentse feesten 2015. Why the largest open air cultural festival is a must on your bucket list.
Six Things you must do at the Gentse Feesten
Gentse feesten
The world’s largest street theatre and music festival just concluded after a mad 10 days of chaos, art, music and acts. If you never heard of the ‘Gentse Feesten’ (Ghent festival), this is hot news! Because you might well be packing your bags and coming to Ghent next year. What is this festival all about? Well, it’s the 172nd edition, so there is definitely some history to it, Apparently, the people of Ghent worked very hard and wanted a festival to take their time off and relax in general. Today, the spirit is not lost and for the lovely people who the Gentians are, the festival is free for one and all (All the 1.3 million visitors) and the exceptionally clean toilets set up at every 100 meters of the city is absolutely free as well (The government spends about 450,000 euros just on the toilets, wow!). However, they get about 20 percent of their money back due to public urinal violations which calls for a huge penalty (How funny?).

Ghent in 2 minutes (2014)
During one year a team of audiovisual professionals shot footage in and around the city, with the sole purpose to catch the everyday city vibe and turn the images into a long tranche de vie.

Ghent in Motion is not only a narrative story about life, death and all stages in-between; it is also a grasping – and sometimes moving – time document about life as we know it today.
Ghent in Motion is a crowdfunded project. In order to produce the movie we asked the Ghent entrepreneurs, shop-owners, restaurants, pubs, ... and all citizens of Ghent if they would inject Ghent in Motion with the necessary financial input. They did, en masse.
The result is a 50’ movie, highlighting our city’s gems, it’s people and it’s spirit.
We hope you enjoy it,

Ghent - Belgium
Ghent is a city and a municipality located in the Flemish region of Belgium. It is the capital and biggest city of the East Flanders province. The city started as a settlement at the confluence of the Rivers Scheldt and Lys and in the Middle Ages became one of the largest and richest cities of northern Europe. Today it is a busy city with a port and a university.
The municipality comprises the city of Ghent proper and the towns of Afsnee, Desteldonk, Drongen, Gentbrugge, Ledeberg, Mariakerke, Mendonk, Oostakker, Sint-Amandsberg, Sint-Denijs-Westrem, Sint-Kruis-Winkel, Wondelgem and Zwijnaarde. With 240,191 inhabitants in the beginning of 2009, Ghent is Belgium's second largest municipality by number of inhabitants. The metropolitan area, including the outer commuter zone, covers an area of 1,205 km2 (465 sq mi) and has a total population of 594,582 as of 1 January 2008, which ranks it as the fourth most populous in Belgium. The current mayor of Ghent, Daniël Termont, leads a coalition of the sp.a, Open VLD and Pro Gent.
Every year the ten-day-long Ghent Festival (Gentse Feesten in Dutch) is held. About two million visitors attend every yearArchaeological evidence shows human presence in the region of the confluence of Scheldt and Lys going back as far as the Stone Age and the Iron Age.[4] Most historians believe that the older name for Ghent, 'Ganda', is derived from the Celtic word 'ganda' which means confluence. There are no written records of the Roman period but archaeological research confirms that the region of Ghent was further inhabited.
When the Franks invaded the Roman territories (from the end of the 4th century and well into the 5th century) they brought their language with them and Celtic and Latin were replaced by Old Dutch.
Around 650 Saint Amand founded two abbeys in Ghent: the Saint Peter Abbey and the St. Bavo's Abbey. The city grew from several nuclei, the abbeys and a commercial centre. Around 800 Louis the Pious, son of Charlemagne, appointed Einhard, the biographer of Charlemagne, as abbot of both abbeys. In 851 and 879 the city was however attacked and plundered twice by the Vikings.
The city recovered and flourished from the 11th century on. Until the 13th century Ghent was the biggest city in Europe after Paris; it was bigger than London, Cologne or Moscow.[citation needed] Within the city walls lived up to 65,000 people. Today, the belfry and the towers of the Saint Bavo Cathedral and Saint Nicholas' Church are just a few examples of the skyline of the period.
The rivers flowed in an area where a lot of land was periodically inundated. These richly grassed 'meersen' (water-meadows: a word related to the English 'marsh', but not meaning exactly the same: a 'meers' is not permanently under water) were ideally suited for herding sheep, the wool of which was used for making cloth. In fact, Ghent was, during the Middle Ages, the most important city for cloth.
