André Delvaux. Life and work seeks out the lesser known aspects of André Delvaux's work: his short films and documentaries, which demonstrate more clearly than his feature films his commitment to spreading the arts and culture. From the mid fifties Delvaux made fifty films together with his students at the Athénée Fernand Blum school in Schaarbeek. As a documentary-maker he focuses mainly on other film-makers and Delvaux himself can also be seen and heard. Together with a number of colleagues we look back on the significance of a unique Belgian film oeuvre.
