Drijf

There’s no way to prepare for Levi Stoops’ Drijf, and that’s a good thing. The animated filmmaker himself voices Jeremy, and Anemone Valcke plays Aurora. The naked couple is lost at sea and floats across the vast ocean on a small log.

Not understanding each other’s desires and boundaries, their struggles for survival and for the survival of their relationship become a big mess with dire consequences. Stoops has already floated his hilarious adventure film to major animation festivals in Hong Kong, Annecy, and Ottawa. This month, he is visiting Antwerp.

At Cinema Urbana, Drijf will precede the feature film Le Règne Animal.
