André, Baron Delvaux is a Belgian film director and widely regarded as the founder of the Belgian national cinema. Born March 21, 1926, in Heverlee, he died October 4, 2002, in Valencia, Spain.

After having studied German philology, law, piano and composition Andre Delvaux filmed some TV documenturies. In 1965 he debuted at the movies with a film adapted from a novel of 'Johan Daisne'. His films always played in a set between reality and fantasy. Writing his own scripts he filmed e.g. "Femme entre chien et loup (1979)" and "Benvenuta (1983)" but he had had then problems in financing his projects. Nevertheless he went on with e.g. "L'Oeuvre au noir (1988)" but the interest of the masses was only small.
