In WIM, documentary filmmaker Lut Vandekeybus takes us into the energetic, poetic and complex universe of her brother, the acclaimed choreographer and director Wim Vandekeybus. A captivating film about a distinguished career and intense life.

Performer, choreographer and director Wim Vandekeybus is a man of many families. He grew up surrounded by brothers and sisters, he founded a creative family in the dance company Ultima Vez, and now has grown-up children of his own. Drawing on performances, rehearsals, interviews and family archives, Lut Vandekeybus explores her brother’s restless creativity and the way these family circles interconnect, inspire and sometimes clash with his work. Wim is poetic yet perceptive, intimate but never indulgent.
