Rik Kuypers, Ivo Michiels and Roland Verhavert

Ivo Michiels, born in 1923, and Roland Verhavert, born in 1927, were film critics when they decided, young and inexperienced, to make a film; they turned to Rik Kuypers, born in Mortsel in 1925, the only one of the three who knew how to handle a camera. Michiels then devoted himself to literature, Verhavert brought Flemish classics to the screen and taught, and Kuypers made experimental films, documentaries and television programmes. Kuypers died in Peru in 2019, Verhavert in 2014 and Michiels in 2012.
