Quote: "Animation films are often a showcase used by the director to demonstrate the skills they have acquired. I use the techniques to tell a story, it’s a tool."
Choosing animation as his field of expertise, Kaayk specialised in blending computer generated images with live-action video to present his ideas. His first two films are combined with the informative character of a documentary. Kaayk’s distinctive technique and style has been appointed as a new kind of emerging genre.

Quote: "I don't make films to entertain people; I want them to feel, to see, to be agitated."
The selfmade director
Martijn Maria Smits spent several months living in Seraing (BE) undertaking painstaking research, or 'method writing' as he calls it. Observing the local way of life first-hand, the director recalls how the bleak environs of Seraing began to take their toll, "I actually got depressed," he recalls. "I talked to people in bars, kids on the street, got drunk. I became the people in my story, lived the scenes that I was inventing to discover what my characters would do."
C'est deja l'ete is a bleak vision of a working-class society where the fictional world dissolves into documentary.
