The famous Belgian national film
1908, French immigrant a Ma Shang founded the first Belgian film studio in Hallerfield. During 1904 ~ 19 14, I shot some short stories, such as Diephuis's Daughter (1908). After World War I, a new film studio was set up near Brussels in an attempt to develop Belgian national films. However, due to the competition of film companies from the United States, Germany and France and the migration of some film workers to France, Belgium produced both French films and Flemish films after the appearance of sound films. The first batch of well-known films were The Clintons (1929) and The Most Beautiful Dream (1930) by director G. Shukens.

Since the mid-1930s, I have tried to shoot feature films. By the end of 1930s, some films about art theory came out. Many films analyze Flemish classical works of art, such as A Glance at Ancient Belgium by director Henri Storck H (1936) and The Mysterious Lamb by director A Fan Ko (1939). C. In the film The Source of Inspiration (1938), Desclaire used parallel montage to show the characters and landscapes of the old Flemish master.

In the early 1950s, due to the introduction of foreign investment, the situation of Belgian films began to improve. The first film co-produced this time is The Smuggler's Banquet by Henri Storck H (195 1). From 1953 to 1962, Belgium produced 48 feature films, most of which were co-produced with France, the Federal Republic of Germany and the Netherlands. Excellent film seagulls die in the harbor (1955, directed by R. VerHarvitt, R. Quibell, I. Michiels) and so on.

From 65438 to 0963, the Belgian government implemented the method of state subsidies for film production. In the 1960s and 1970s, Belgium made many films full of symbolism and mysticism. For example, the films directed by A. Delvaux, The Man Who Shaved His Head (1966), On a Night Train (1968) and Meeting in Bly (197 1), have subtle psychological descriptions and realistic and illusory scenes. Movies full of symbolism and naturalism include Marbert Hughes (197 1) and Red Lip (1972) by H. Qumer and Hug by P. Gaulle and P. Dello (1968).

There are also some poetic realistic films that show the relationship between ordinary people in Belgian films, including Home, Lovely Home (1973, directed by B Lamy) and Recruits (1973, directed by R Will Harvitt). There have also been some films reflecting modern life, such as Amr's son died (1974, directed by J.-J. Adrian), The Woman between Dogs and Wolves (1979, directed by A. Delvaux) and Meeting Anna (1977).

Artists and biographies of artists occupy a prominent position in Belgian films. For example, paul delvaux Cox's The World (1946, directed by Henri Storck H.), Rubens (1948, directed by A. Henri Storck, P. Hazard), James? Anseur's Masks and Faces (1950, directed by P. Hazards) and Ye Longnam Boxiu (1963, directed by F. Wilkens). There is also a color film "Golden Century" about Flemish painting (1953, directed by P. Hazards). Belgian documentaries are ingenious in editing, good in photography and poetic. Such as Doc (1955, directed by E. Delin), Belgian Suite (1958, directed by L. Delauz Ji) and Master of the Forest (1958, directed by G. Hillemann and A. Brandt). Many documentaries reflect the political problems of modern society, such as Struggle for Our Rights (196 1) and Open Dialogue (197 1, directed by F. Biens); Walloon (197 1, directed by Z. Golobel).
