André Delvaux

André Delvaux was born in Heverlee on 21 March 1926. A pianist trained at the Brussels Conservatoire, he accompanied silent films at the Cinémathèque, taught, then made documentaries for television about filmmakers. In 1962 he co-founded the Brussels film school, where he taught directing. His first feature film, in 1965, adapted from Johan Daisne, prompted talk of magic realism, a label that stayed with him; he went on to adapt Julien Gracq and Marguerite Yourcenar. He died in Valencia, Spain, on 4 October 2002.
