Episode 31 German Problems
Episode 30 Blasphemy Against Woman
Blasphemy Against Woman
A gathering of dilettantes and professors made their way to the courthouse to witness a sublime travesty: the state prosecuting artist Ben Lunato for blasphemy against the god of our age: woman. The result is a courtroom trying to decide whether sacred images are still allowed to be mocked. This film shows the trial in full. Law professor Bart Jansen explains how the law attempts to colonise reality and art.
Episode 29 Whore Dialectics
Whore Dialectics
Artist Ben Lunato is being prosecuted under an insane new Dutch law which holds that creating a sexual image amounts to raping someone. He may be in prison for a year. Europe has entered a rancorous mood, willing to throw its freedoms into the bargain, to sink back into the clay. We seized this moment to embark with Ben Lunato on a journey through the world of whores who, in our strange world, appear to have become the bearers of truth—arriving in Los Angeles, where we meet the art dealer Stefan Simchowitz, and, of course, whores. Endlessly many whores. These figures merge into an affirmative horizon, beyond woke ideology, toward a new art: WHORE DIALECTICS.

Episode 26 Cornucopia
Cornucopia
Art is a product of abundance! Episode 26 begins where episode 25 left us, and shows the dramatic attempts of art dealer Paul van Esch to shatter his financial ceiling and escape the boredom of the art world.
Episode 25 Male Love
Male Love
Director Stefan Ruitenbeek about this film: “Male Love” explores the intrigue and drama of a million-euro art deal. I’m an artist caught in the center, filming the deal while wrestling with feelings of resentment as the Boijmans Museum spends heavily on another artist’s work. As I scheme to disrupt the deal, Philip, the art collector, grows suspicious. The tension escalates and intermediaries, a city councillor and a law professor, step in to mediate the conflict. In Manhattan Art Review, Sean Tatol reviews this episode and our KIRAC films.
Episode 24 Under a Sinking Sun
Under a Sinking Sun
The film follows the KIRAC collective as we turn male and female arts and humanities students, who were expelled for sexual misconduct, into catalysts for a more decadent and artistic world. This film, originally commissioned by KIOSK / KASK, an esteemed art school in Ghent, Belgium, was abruptly cancelled just one day before its premiere. However, it’s available for online viewing. Runtime 75 minutes. Release date 2022 April 2
Episode 23 Honeypot
Honeypot
In this film, conservative philosopher Sid Lukkassen tries to save the world by having sex with leftist student Jini. Entering her boudoir, he is caught in an enchanting and unpredictable world.
Episode 22 Reasons of Ego
Reasons of Ego
Oscar van der Kroon works for Dutch public television. He wants to do Avant Garde Television but his mediocrity is holding him back. At the end of the Episode, he promises to do some introspection.
Episode 21 Buse (A Good Student)
Buse (A Good Student)
Buse, a teenager from Istanbul, is an art student at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. She wants to make a movie about her experiences at the school but she is afraid she will be kicked out for making a critical film about the world-renowned institution. KIRAC advises Buse to make the most of the decline of this institution and the bleak future it offers her.
Episode 20 The Latent Potency of Rob Defares
The Latent Potency of Rob Defares
This episode is an ironic call to a cynical liberal billionaire (Rob Defares, who owns a high-frequency trading firm) to fully use the cultural potency of his wealth, something this billionaire would never do because he wants to hide in the herd. It’s ironic because we know the call towards Defares will fall on deaf ears. So, it’s a mating call that flies over his head, reaching towards some other imagined monarch/billionaire to start the cultural revolution and who, by contrast to the unimaginative, fearful, skulking billionaire Rob Defares, emerges superior, enlightened, gay, and victorious.
Episode 19 The Goat
The Goat
KIRAC 18 and 19 are one film published in two parts. Among other things, this films shows my attempts to pummel art collector Philip van den Hurk into a 16th century style mecenas. He has to stop buying art as investment commodities. He has to stop buying art on fancy art fairs. Instead, he should spend his money aristocratically on us, the KIRAC film people, without getting any material return, only entertainment and artistic confusion. An important tool in pummeling Philip is a trip to Cairo. In this non-western sanatorium, my friend and radical artist Tarik Sadouma will give him a treatment that will cure Philip of his late-capitalism art buying deceases. But, Philip is not just a passive patient. He emerges as a force to be reckoned with, and secures himself a highly sought-after spot in the KIRAC pantheon.

A Franciscan friar sharpens his quill
The USA is parading its incontinence, pissing everywhere. In the rest of the world, outsiders study the puddles and taste the piss. An example is Iran. We will start this talk with a short segment on Iranian propaganda, but we will talk mainly about something coming from the Vatican.
The Grace of George Soros
The Grace of George Soros
George Soros is usually discussed in the language of conspiracy or moral piety. But to understand someone it does actually make sense to listen to what they have to say. A beyond good and evil look at this impressive man. Join us for a mini voyage into the world of Soros.
16th Century Whore Dialogues — A Review
16th Century Whore Dialogues — A Review
Pietro Aretino’s Dialogues. Written in Renaissance Venice. A book about a functioning society because everybody’s always needing something from someone else. The masters need the slaves to bring the food from the land. The woman needs the slaves to have sex with. The master needs the sixteen-year-old beautiful girl to prance with, to feel young. And so everything clasps in each other in this sort of deeply unholy orgy of people.

“Well, you could say you want to make it the most masculine century, because that is what the females would like.”
Holy Lies and the Normal Elite
Holy Lies and the Normal Elite
Kate and Stefan look at some people who are competing to replace the crumbling normal elite. Aspirations to replace the NYT (Bari Weiss), the Holocaust narrative (historian Tom Holland), and suicidal universities (UATX). And we propose a DEEP ART STRATEGY.
The Antisemitism of Nick Fuentes
The Antisemitism of Nick Fuentes
Vibrating between total indifference and fear, the KIRAC people try to understand this new version of American Antisemitism, the latest version after religious and German Antisemitism. Nick Fuentes is its star.
Crisis of Passion — Bronze Age Pervert, Erika Kirk, Roger Scruton, Bernini
Crisis of Passion — Bronze Age Pervert, Erika Kirk, Roger Scruton, Bernini
Art, weirdness, and the crisis of passion. The Bronze Age Pervert on the Christian takeover of Trump’s movement. These Christians blame postmodern culture and memes for Charlie Kirk’s murder. How pointing at postmodernism and irony becomes a veiled form of censorship—and how there’s artistic opportunity in reconciling Christians with the rotting corpse, the stink, the body on the cross. Mel Gibson, Brechtian theater, the Counter-Reformation, Bernini’s Theresia trembling in delicious pain.
Authenticity and Shame
Authenticity and Shame
A conversation on authenticity in the Liberal vs Christian debate amongst prominent Politicians, Pundits, and Philosophers, some of whom display signs of shame for their evident lack of authenticity, while others can do without it altogether, and in doing so inform a different understanding of the very concept itself. The film (KIRAC episode 27 and 29) is coming soon. In the meantime, I’ll try to post updates once every two weeks tied loosely to our process, to make you part of the machine we’re building. We’ve received interesting responses to our talk on the billionaires’ metaphysical quest and have already recorded the next release exploring it further. YouTube / Spotify

Art and Tyranny, Sinha, Ruitenbeek, d’Alancaisez
Art and Tyranny, Sinha, Ruitenbeek, d’Alancaisez
I am pleased with this conversation. Pierre d’Alancaisez , critic and curator of the art space Verdurin , speaks with us about our upcoming artwork and the theory behind it. Our optimism mirrors his pessimism, which allows us to articulate our stance on power and authority. It is a conversation about a world sliding into a multipolar, authoritarian, post-democratic reality — and what this means for art, for our art.
Artur Dugin – The Metaphysics of the Russian State
Artur Dugin – The Metaphysics of the Russian State
I wrote a text on “ ennobling portraiture ” when a young man approached me. He turned out to be the son of the famous Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin. What could someone in his position find in my ideas about art, and what could I learn from him, from the other side of the war?

What Peter Vack, the director and writer of the film Assholes, can learn from Dostoyevski’s use of ‘supercharacters’, how you can make the petty characters that you want to tell stories about, enormous. And Kate’s experience at the garden party of Dutch publisher Mai Spijkers.
KIRAC movie talk – The Scary of Sixty-First
KIRAC movie talk – The Scary of Sixty-First
Dasha Nekrasova’s Scary is filled with female characters engaging in lesbian love and some sex with unimpressive male dorks. A dominant, aggressive, male entity is present however, but only in a distant, metaphysical symbolic sense: in the form of Jeffrey Epstein and the mystery that surrounds him. What is the meaning of this? Whilst talking about the film and its quality as a film, Kate and Stefan stumble upon this question and try to answer it.
