Biography
Vincent Bal is a Belgian filmmaker and visual artist born on 25 February 1971. He built a career on a deceptively simple premise: photograph shadows cast by ordinary objects, then animate or reimagine them into surreal narratives. As writer and director, his breakthrough came with Miss Minoes (2001), a film that established his visual-poetry approach. He followed with The Bloody Olive (1997), The Zigzag Kid (2012), and Belgian Rhapsody (2014) — each exploring the gap between what we see and what we imagine. Screenwriters shape stories through dialogue and structure; Bal shapes them through light and shadow, treating everyday items as portals to the absurd. Born under Pisces, a sign known for intuition and dreamlike perception, his work channels that astrological tendency into concrete film and installation art. Belgium — a country with a rich comics and surrealist tradition — provided fertile creative ground for his visual-artist sensibility.

- His shadow-art practice spans installation, photography, and film — treating the same visual language across different mediums rather than confining himself to cinema alone.
- Belgian Rhapsody (2014) sits at the intersection of his filmmaking and shadow-art: a title that evokes both national identity and visual reinvention.
