Using never-before-seen images, photos and documents from Frank Verstraeten's private archive and unique testimonials from those who experienced it from the front row, this series tells the real story of Zillion.
It's 1997. Frank Verstraeten, a computer genius with a nose for business, a fascination for nightlife and an unhealthy urge to prove himself, only wants one thing: his own disco that not only outperforms the competition but simply humiliates it. The futuristic mega discotheque Zillion is a fact and Frank turns from computer dealer to the pivotal figure of the Antwerp nightlife.
