Esotika Erotica Psychotica
Mike Kitchell
Creator, primary contributor, editor, and site designer.  "Esotika Erotica Psychotica began as a film review blog by Mike Kitchell on January 2nd of 2007.  He started to blog with the eventual goal of having a website that would serve as a sort of "platform" for people and information pertaining to the particular blend of film that he was fascinated by; namely, that which combined sex, horror, art, and experimentation.  The necessity for the website was felt due to a discontent with the prevalance of genre film review sites that would often overlook or dismiss the so called "pretentious" films, and "art film" review sites that would ignore the "low brow" genre films.  Since he felt the most important films were the films that were brilliant combinations of the two, he decided that a remarkably nobrow approach was necessary.  The necessity for a new website also grew out of the fact that many internet based review sites were primarily DVD review sites.  He has a major appreciation for DVDs (obviously), but DVDs aren't relevent without the films that they hold."

"Esotika references "esoteric", meaning in this context, of course, obscure. The films applauded on the Esotika site are often fairly obscure, or at least relatively unknown, films.  Erotica clearly references the erotic and sexual content in many of the films discussed.  Psychotica brings to mind the idea of a sort of "psychosis", which in film can relate to a very "free" or "experimental" method of narrative, imagery, or really anything.  Those three signifiers together produce, at least, we would hope, the idea of what makes an Esotika film an Esotika film."

ultima vez

Ultima Vez was founded in 1986 as the company and organization of choreographer, director and filmmaker Wim Vandekeybus.
Since its foundation, Ultima Vez has intensively developed its activities as an international contemporary dance company with a strong base in Brussels and Flanders.
While, during the first years, Ultima Vez focused mainly on the production, promotion and distribution of the artistic work of Wim Vandekeybus (dance, theatre, film), the organization has integrated many other activities.



Ultima Vez has always functioned as an autonomous and independent structure,
relying however on a network of co-producers and partners to realize its projects.

Currently the activities of Ultima Vez are focused around the following pillars:
- the creation, production, the national and international distribution & promotion of the artistic work of Wim Vandekeybus (dance/theatre creations, film & video, kids & youth projects, …);
- the organization of art educational activities (classes, workshops, repertory projects…) for various target groups (professional dancers, performers, dance amateurs, children, …);
- the ulti'mates programme: the support and counselling of choreographers/theatre makers on the level of (financial) management, administration, production, promotion and/or distribution.

For more information about the different Ultima Vez activities, we refer to the respective pages on this website.
An overview of the partnerships and networks Ultima Vez relies on or is member of can be found on the synergies pages.
