We’re looking for 8 to 12 men to take part in a video shoot in Antwerp on Saturday 21 November 2026 for the Beyond Darklands visual project, the large-scale VJ projections that will light up the main screens during the festival. We’re searching for a diverse mix of men who are comfortable in front of the camera and not afraid to show their face while exploring different fetish aesthetics.
Bootblacking is about much more than polished leather. It is a tradition built on craft, care, connection and community. At Beyond Darklands 2027, Europe’s bootblacks will once again put those skills in the spotlight as they compete for the title of Bootblack Europe 2027.
Preproduction for Beyond Darklands: The Ember Dunes is officially shifting into high gear. February may still feel far away, but behind the scenes, the next edition is already starting to take shape. The first creative brainstorm for our legendary Midnight Show has taken place.
