“Feast,” the directorial debut of visual artist, photographer and filmmaker Tim Leyendekker, centers on a case that rocked Holland in the mid 2000s, when three men were accused of drugging others and injecting them with HIV-infected blood.
The film/documentary/essay hybrid unfolds over 84-minutes in seven vignettes, offering the audience different points of view from the victims, perpetrators, police and even, via a microbiologist, the virus itself.

A national buzz about the film, running in International Film Festival Rotterdam’s Tiger competition, is such that the director claims to be block-booked with newspaper, TV and radio interviews in his native Holland.
