The Scheldepeloton tells the story of five young riders from Ghent: Wouter Weylandt, Iljo Keisse, Dimitri De Fauw, Kurt Hovelijnck and Bert De Backer. They get to know each other on their training trips along the Scheldt and fight together for the same dream: to become a professional cyclist. One by one, they make the dream come true, but the road to fame is fraught with hurdles, drama and tragedy.


The inhabitants of Bevergem can at least be called special. One day, stand-up comedian Freddy De Vadder also moves in. Why? Nobody knows. And he keeps quiet himself. The inhabitants of Bevergem are charmed by the presence of the eccentric rock 'n' roll figure, but it soon becomes clear that the villagers themselves are even more eccentric. Each of them confides in outsider Freddy and all kinds of petty bourgeois intrigues surface between noisy alpha males (and females) on the one hand and well-behaved, clumsy underdogs on the other. In the run-up to the annual village festivals, things get rather heated, but Freddy watches all the fuss and remains the unmoved mover at all times.




Albatross is a tragicomic TV show, about ten obese people who participate in a fourteen-day camp in the Ardennes to lose weight.





Sofie Lemaire and Bent Van Looy take an open, eager and curious look at culture and cultural events. Culture in the broadest sense of the word, live from the heart of Antwerp, Belgium with weekly guests from home and abroad, concerts and performances.






Basisschool Balder is a hyperrealistic and often moving dipslay of running a school in Brussels. It's a four-part documentary series in which the school staff opens their hearts to Brussels youth and the parents involved, displaying great openness and vulnerability to the VRT Canvas camera, which followed them for a year as a fly-on-the-wall.


In the series My Youth Judge, Phara de Aguirre returns to the youth court with young adults who were once judged by a youth judge, to look at their file and ask their youth judge the questions they are left with. They also visit the institutions where they stayed or people who were important in their youth. For the series, it was also possible - and this is exceptional - to attend the hearings where the youth judge has to decide on today's young people.
