Belgian filmmaker and ethnographer Luc de Heusch started his career in Africa, where he developed sharp observation skills that later proved useful for filming in his home country. De Heusch has always been a passionate literature and art lover. As a member of the COBRA group he filmed his friends and artists Pierre Alechinsky (1970) and Christian Dotremont (1972). Several film portraits had preceded, of dramatist Michel de Ghelderode (1957), of painter René Magritte (1960) and yet of another Belgian painter James Ensor (1991).
