LESSONS IN BEAUTY (ANTOON VAN DYCK)
Stefaan DecostereA portrait of Antoon Van Dyck, often called "the Mozart of painting". If there is an enigma about Van Dyck’s character, it is complicated by a scarcity of first hand accounts of him and the almost complete lack of letters by his hand. In the nineteenth century he was often cast, disparagingly, as Rubens’s brilliant but degenerate successor - effeminate, dissolute, irresolute...
ALL TOGETHER NOW...
Hans Op de Beeck‘All Together Now...’ is a tragicomic portrait of three groups of people attending different social gatherings.

For forty-five years, residents of this divided city lived radically different lives, both in terms of ideology and everyday experience...
CONTEMPORARIES
Karen Vanderborght‘Contemporaries’ is a video clip made for and inspired by the music of the Finnish lo-fi band Kiila. Like in the song, images bring a naïve message: “The people living around us are our contemporaries”.
