Henri Storck (1907-1999) was a Belgian filmmaker and pioneer in documentary filmmaking. He is best known for his documentaries "Misère au Borinage" (1933), a pamphlet against capitalism made in collaboration with Dutch filmmaker Joris Ivens, and his Virgilian ecloge in "Symphonie Paysanne" (1944). Storck made numerous films about art, which played a major role in his life and work. His contemporaries included Belgian artists such as Léon Spilliaert, James Ensor, Paul Delvaux and Constant Permeke. His films on art include "Le monde de Paul Delvaux" (1946), "Rubens" (1948) and "Herman Teirlinck" (1953). The connection to his birthplace is reflected in films such as "Images d'Ostende" (1928), a magnificent ode to the beauty of Storck's birthplace on the Belgian coast.
