DE ZANGER DEMODOKOS

Jan Vromman
'De zanger Demodokos' returns to the basics of our culture. In a short meditation about the role of text and music, of seeing and blindness, Jan Vromman evokes the blind singer from Homer - the darling of the muses. In this touching short film the blind Tcha Limberger sings the Homer's text, and plays Kris Defoort's music on clarinet. "The worst crime man commits is against himself...

THE THIRD MAN

Erik Bünger
As a child my father told me about the movie: In a city somewhere, a man searches for another man.

VIC GENTILS: MONUMENT – CAMILLE HUYSMANS

Jef Cornelis
Vic Gentils (1918 – 1997) might be considered one of the major exponents of Belgian ‘nouveau réalisme’. Just like Ensor, Gentils parodies arrogance, misconception, naiveté and particularly organised foolishness.
