Side Effects

Where does the e40 motorway originate? What are the dullest animals on the planet? How does the kommaan live in the wild? And who were the tupolev brothers? These and other questions are the starting point for a series of nature, exploration and history reports that are as riveting as they are varied and fictitious.

Ask a billion random people what they associate our country with and the odds that someone will say: ‘belgium is a country of documentary film makers’ are infinitesimally small. Through this series and in its inimitable way, neveneffecten (jelle de beule, lieven scheire, koen de poorter and jonas geirnaert) aims to make up for the lack of a belgian national geographic channel. The boundaries between fiction and reality are not always clear and neither are those between logic and complete nonsense. But neveneffecten felt that this shadow world provides the ideal framework in which to exercise the noble art of humour in a novel way.
