Nomade in Niemandsland

Hester Jonkhout | Curaçao, Netherlands | 2024 | doc | 55 min | Dutch, Papiamento | e.s.

Nomade in Niemandsland takes you into the eventful life of Caribbean artist Felix de Rooy. De Rooy, queer and 'of color' is considered a pioneer. The first in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, who since the seventies has freely told with his art what it means to be queer and Caribbean.

His work challenges the establishment to look at itself in the mirror. In this poetic movie, filmmaker Hester Jonkhout explores the motivations of this boundless artist who has an endless creative drive, but who is also confronted with the unpredictability of life. In 2021, Felix suffers a brain attack and must literally rearrange his life. What does it mean that the most important thing in his life, creating art, is no longer possible? What is the value of his work today?
