The godfather of the Youth Film Festival is Gilles De Schryver

Gilles De Schryver is well-known for his role as Kevin in the flemish TV-series Code 37, but he has a lot more to offer. In 2009 he completed his acting training at University College Ghent. Also in 2009, De Schryver and playwright Yahya Terryn founded theatre company “the GEIT”. In 2011 “the GEIT” merged with former theatre group “Ceremonia” and the name was changed to “the KIP” (Royal Institute for Performing Arts). Last year De Schryver starred in the wonderful film Hasta la Vista. We proudly announce that this 27-year-old “hyperactive” actor found some time in his busy schedule and will be the “godfather” of the 24th edition of the Youth Film Festival.
