After having discovered the medium of film during the registration of his first performances (for the dance videos "Roseland" and "La Mentira" – both directed by Wim Vandekeybus, Walter Verdin and Octavio Iturbe), Wim Vandekeybus directed his first short film "Elba and Federico" in 1993. This film became the basis for the production "Her Body Doesn't Fit Her Soul".
From this moment onwards film became a constant value in Wim's work; an extra outlet for his wild imagination, an important and essential element in his performances. Wim Vandekeybus barely makes performances without integrating the medium of film. More recent short-films such as "The Last Words" and "Inasmuch…" were not only inherent parts of the performances; they also lead their life the art and short film circuit.
Besides the short films and film and video fragments that are part of the performances, Wim Vandekeybus has directed several video adaptations of his dance productions. By putting elements of his performances in other contexts and locations, Wim Vandekeybus gives them a totally new dynamic and rhythm.
In May and June of 2004 Wim Vandekeybus shot a 52-minute feature based on his successful performance "Blush". Carried by the music of David Eugene Edwards and Woven Hand and with texts by the Flemish author Peter Verhelst, "Blush" is a dazzling voyage swinging between the heavenly landscapes of Corsica and the slummiest depths of Brussels.
It is an exploration of the savage subconscious, of mythical forests, of conflicting instincts, of imagination, where the body has reasons unknown to the mind. In dance sequences of attraction, confrontation and repulsion the performers take on animal metamorphoses…
