Guest: Stefan Ruitenbeek & Kate Sinha

Once again, Stefan Ruitenbeek and Kate Sinha, the driving force behind Kirac (Keeping It Real Art Critics), find themselves in a maze of controversies, intrigues, mud-slinging, and lawsuits. How do they keep a cool head, as a young family and up-and-coming filmmakers? How do they view the lawsuit themselves? How do they explain the bombast and floundering of star author Michel Houellebecq and his wife Lysis? And how do they intend to make a film out of all this material?

About the series Houellebecq vs Kirac: In this special series I want to report on the lawsuit between Michel Houellebecq on one side and KIRAC, or Keeping It Real Art Critics, on the other side. Leading up to the judge's verdict in about four weeks, I want to talk to various directly involved parties, in the lawsuit and in the making process of Kirac's film, the film about Houellebecq, the film that Houellebecq wants to ban.
