Slightly older, none the wiser: that motto matched the exuberant atmosphere during the premiere of the W817 film on Wednesday evening in Kinepolis in Antwerp. The actors visibly enjoyed the debut of 8 off!, the movie that came about thanks to the fans.
W817 ran on Ketnet for only four seasons, but thanks to the many repeats it became a real cult series for generations of young Flemish people. The idea for a film was carried by a mass of fans. More than fifty thousand of them were prepared to buy a ticket in advance, and soon the film could be realized ‘slightly older, nothing wiser’.

The upbeat atmosphere of the film and series was also edited on the red carpet. “We entertain ourselves”, Kadèr Gürbüz joked, among the entire cast W817 appealed to the photographers. Even beforehand, Gürbüz and Britt Van Der Borght hinge on the shoulders of Aron Wade like real vamps.
For the fans, the film is even getting used to. There is still a corner but the time of the student house is over. The eight friends from then lost sight of each other, until Carlo (Jenne Decleir) invites everyone to a big party. The fans who bought a ticket in advance already got the chance to see the film. From Thursday everyone can go and watch 8 off!.
