WimLut Vandekeybus

In WIM, documentary filmmaker Lut Vandekeybus takes us into the energetic, poetic and complex universe of her brother, acclaimed choreographer and director Wim Vandekeybus. An enthusiastic portrait of a distinguished career.

Wim Vandekeybus’ career began with Jan Fabre, but he soon founded his own company, Ultima Vez. His first show “What the Body Does Not Remember" (1987) became an international success and won awards for its groundbreaking dance language. It was the launch of a career that put both the company and Flemish dance on the map, internationally. In the early 90s he begins to use film scenes in his performances. And successfully so. The short film "Elba and Federico" (1993) won big at the Brussels Film Festival. "WIM" is not only a visual journey through his artistic work, it is as much a voyage of discovery of the relationship the choreographer has with the big and small dramas of everyday life and how he incorporates these into his dance and film performances. Dancers and employees testify about Vandekeybus’ visionary talent and rousing enthusiasm, as well as his urge for perfection and at times erratic temperament. With lots of new archival material, unique home videos and in-depth interviews Lut Vandekeybus delivers an inspired portrait of her brother’s impressive career.
