You know Johannes Verschaeve as the pleasantly deranged frontman of The Van Jets. After the band's break-up, the Ghent-based Oostendener is doing it all on his own as Johannes Is Zijn Naam. Poetic, Dutch-language lyrics meander between hissing rhythm boxes and primitive synths, with Johannes as a lone crooner at the microphone.
Henri Storck (1907-1999) was a Belgian filmmaker and pioneer in documentary filmmaking. He made numerous films about art, which played a major role in his life and work. The award-winning film Rubens (1948), which he made with Paul Haesaerts, was more than a formal analysis of Rubens' oeuvre. Through a generous use of cinematographic techniques, this film brings Rubens' pictorial world to life, with often striking comparisons with real-life imagery.
This film concert was commissioned by Kunstencentrum VIERNULVIER and Film Festival Gent for the Videodroom series.
