Through a non-hierarchical system of montage, this film explores collective art actions in Belgium and their intersection with dominant and subcultural political and cultural ideologies that brushed against them.

synopsis

Belgium is a country well noted for its 'vagueness' and, taking this into account, Sad in Country delves into the world of 'quasi' cultural forms. One of the vaguest notions in the cultural lexicon is that of the 'collective' and this film explores, through a non-hierarchical system of montage, collective art actions in Belgium and their intersection with dominant and subcultural political and cultural ideologies that brushed against them. The film covers six Belgian collectives: Agency (Brussels, 1992-), Building Underwood (Brussels/Caudiès, 1999-2001), VAGA/A379089 (Antwerp, 1968-1969), Club Moral (Antwerp, 1981-2005).
