André Cauvin

André Cauvin was born in Ixelles on 12 February 1907. A student of law and art history at the Université libre de Bruxelles, he became a lawyer, wrote film criticism and devoted two short films to the Flemish painters, Memling and the Van Eycks. Having joined the resistance in 1940, he had to flee to London, where the Belgian government tasked him with filming the colony's war effort. Back at the bar in 1945, he filmed in the Congo until independence, then devoted himself to writing. He died in Braine-l'Alleud on 2 April 2004.
