Look like this project is a failure.

Well of course the crowd funder was a failure, but the festival came through as did Silva Screen and put out the edition regardless and it is excellent. Even Silvestri himself was pleased with the results and praised Brossé for it during the concert. For me the highlights on this CD are the Forrest Gump and Cosmos suites. This is most definitely not a "best of" that was thrown together rapidly, you can tell a lot of care went into it.

I was at the concert and at the end, all the VIP had their CD's... but we can't buy it as you were in the "normal" public... and as it is a Crowd Funding is it legit to gave those CD's as a gift ??!

We waited with some friends 2 hours outside... nice temperature... and the staff of the festival said that Silvestri was too tired to sign... so we had to go... after that... they came back and said that Silvestri will not going outside at this issue but at the other side... we stayed... and Silvestri came out... so they lied to us !

We are not very happy with this...

I imagine they gave the VIP people a CD given those tickets are ridiculously overpriced. As for regular ticket holders, you could buy the CD from the CD/book stand in the entree hall opposite the bar? Perhaps you missed that but they were there and a friend of mine got his from there.

You can still get it from their site:

I have maybe missed the stand with the CD's but I can't believe the staff lied to us at the end of the concert after 2 hours in a cold night... they haven't pay attention to the 3 Delorean collector who came from far to make this event a great feast... and all the VIP's at the end took pictures with those Deloreans !

Apparently, the CD offered to the VIPs wasn't the Silvestri compilation but a promo CD featuring a special 40-minute piece of music to celebrate Film Fest Gent's 40th anniversary:

Has anyone who donated €100 or more but didn't attend the actual award ceremony received their signed copy of the CD yet? Just curious
