Las Belgas films: photographers Harry Gruyaert and Herman van den Boom

Production company Las Belgas creates interesting films. Two of these films were discussed in Kunstuur. Unfortunately, the link is dead now.

The first film was about Belgian Magnum photographer Harry Gruyaert, who created the series “Made in Belgium” about life in Belgium in the 1980s.

The second film was about the work of photographer Herman van den Boom, who photographs a typically Belgian phenomenon: houses stuck together. This film can still be viewed on Vimeo.
