Darklands: Are You Ready to Go Deep? - A Film by Roland Javornik In-Person
Step into the shadows, into a world few dare to enter—Darklands. This is more than just a documentary; it’s your invitation to the unseen, the unspoken, and the unbroken. Antwerp’s legendary gay fetish festival, tucked within the industrial walls of Waagnatie, becomes a stage for exploring desire, identity, and the limits of societal boundaries.
Follow Jeroen and his sister Nathalie as they pull back the curtain on this 8000-strong underground event, exposing its raw, human core. It’s not just about leather and chains—it’s about who we are when we strip away the masks. But just as the festival reaches its height, the global pandemic crashes in, threatening everything they’ve built. The world stops, and so does their dream—will they rise from the ruins?
This film isn’t just to be watched, it’s to be felt. It’s an intense journey that will push your limits, question your views, and offer you a new perspective on acceptance, fetish, and identity. With stunning visuals, heartfelt stories, and a pulse that beats in time with the raw energy of the festival, Darklands: Are you ready to go deep? is your chance to experience a world behind the closed doors of taboos.
