Julien Vrebos (75) is dead: director and “ket” from Brussels with a lush mustache

In 2007 he made the docu-soap, later transformed into a film, “De 8”, about as many students from a technical school in Aarschot who renovate a terraced house in Herent to host a social center. In 2010 he made “Kukelu”, her vision of Wallonia, and “Under the stars”, about the homeless of Brussels, as she calls the group she carries in her heart.

For “Under the stars” he organized a real restaurant where wealthy Brussels residents and homeless people came to eat and work in the kitchen. This series also showed Vrebos’ trademark: a critical vision but a positive attitude, genuine communication, leaving people in their dignity and above all taking advantage of all opportunities for genuine popular humor. In a way, it’s the visual media counterpart of Toots Thielemans and Lange JoJo.
