Elixir d’Anvers

Recently restored, this 1996 anthology film, supervised by Robbe De Hert, consists of six films by four Flemish and two Dutch young directors. A group of Dutch people, being guided through Antwerp's past, experiences the city through the centuries in a kaleidoscope of stories, some completely made up and others based on true facts. The films are: Tanchelijn (Boris Paval Conen), Opstand aan de Rie’dijk (Wolke Kluppell), Balthasar De Groote (Nathalie Declerq), Mannequin d’Anvers (Wim Symoens), Hendrik Conscience (Tom van Overberghe) and Gilbert Van Schoonbeke (Filip van Neyghem).
