Video Veterans

Four pioneers of video art, filmed by a fellow traveller who knew them when the medium was young.

In progress

Terry Flaxton, Péter Forgács, Robert Cahen and Walter Verdin made video when it was still a wild medium, before curators, pitches and formats. Rob Rombout, who came out of the same scene in the 1980s, brings them back in front of the camera. A pilot was filmed in Brussels in January 2024; the feature is in development, co-written with Marlene Dirven.
