The Doorkeepers

Loneliness, cravings, home workouts, lots of sleep and even more loss. That probably sounds familiar to you? These are issues that both the nine doorkeepers and all of us had to deal with. A diverse group of Antwerp residents, with ages ranging from 15 years to 74 years, filmed their experience during this exceptional time with their smartphones and laptops in the period from March to December 2021.

Without taboos and with many landmarks, they welcome the spectator behind their closed door. The unfiltered insight is accompanied by a range of emotions and experiences. The documentary emphasizes both the strength and vulnerability of humanity in a wonderful way. And now that the lockdown is over, we want to connect people and stories again through this film. A candid discussion will follow the screening.
