Everyone remembers the moment when Jack and Rose share a moment at the prow of the Titanic, or when Jake Sully first lands on Pandora in Avatar. Thanks to the music of the late James Horner, these iconic moments are etched in our memories. To celebrate the life and work of this legendary composer, Film Fest Gent presents the James Horner Tribute Concert on 17 October.

James Horner's road to the pantheon of great film composers went along both epics and little gems which he elevated to astronomical heights. Standouts are his collaborations with directors James Cameron (Aliens, Titanic, Avatar), Ron Howard (Cocoon, Apollo 13, A Beautiful Mind), and Jean-Jacques Annaud (The Name of the Rose, Enemy at the Gates).

In 1998, the classically trained composer won two Academy Awards for his sumptuous Titanic score and the included smash hit My Heart Will Go On. Throughout his career, Horner earned four nomination for the World Soundtrack Awards.
