HUGO ROELANDT

Hugo Roelandt (1950-2015) was a queer figure in the Belgian art scene. Unjustly overlooked, this artist is resurfacing today and astonishes us with his avant-gardism and the ambition of his performances. A series of lively speakers talk on camera about the unique personality of their late friend, a man who was charismatic, radical and groundbreaking. Never-before-seen archive footage - the only existing material of his ephemeral work - reveals an era and a history of art in Belgium that has been invisible until now.
