For Your Beautiful Eyes (1929) [Movie] TMDB IMDb WikiData
Pour vos beaux yeux
director: Henri Storck actor: Alfred Courmes / Félix Labisse
other title: Pour vos beaux yeux
"Pour vos beaux yeux" (For Your Beautiful Eyes) is an eight-minute surrealist short by Henri Storck, conceived from an idea by Félix Labisse. In just 75 shots, it follows a young man who discovers a glass eye in a park, becomes consumed by its strange allure, and tries in vain to rid himself of it by mailing it away. Featuring Henry Van Vyve in the lead role, with cameo appearances by Labisse and his sister Ninette, the film stands as a playful yet unsettling exploration of obsession and absurdity—released only a year after "Un Chien Andalou."
Images of Ostend (1929) [Movie] TMDB IMDb
Images d'Ostende
director: Henri Storck
other title: Images d'Ostende
Structured in visual chapters: the port, anchors, the wind, the spray, the dunes, the North Sea… A series of images that need no anecdote or explanation. Storck offers a glimpse of Ostend, aspects that order its multiple constitutive elements; The water, the sand, the waves, vital cinematic language displayed in simple pictures. A poetic and kinetic shock, without fiction or sound, which relieves film from its narrative obligation and restores it to the world of sensations that it can alone carry.
Meeting of Artists (1945) [Movie] TMDB
Réunion d'artistes
director: Henri Storck actor: Paul Delvaux / Edgard Tytgat
other title: Réunion d'artistes
A family film, a short summer film, made to record the joy of being together. But what a family! Léon Spilliaert, Paul Delvaux, Edgar Tytgat and his wife Maria, Luc and Paul Haessaerts. A garden, some seats and a camera that films the group of friends. They talk (given all the jollity, laughter and gestures seen it is a shame that it is a silent film). A period document only a few minutes long, a witness that puts names to faces, a reminder of a sunny afternoon. Emotion that loses itself in the moment.

Boerensymfonie

other title: Boerensymfonie
From 1942 to 1944, Henri Storck composed his Symphonie paysanne, in which he describes the day to day life and rituals of the farmers on the rhythm of the seasons. The film is a poem to nature, a lyrical masterpiece on life and death, on animals and plants, on man and his labour.

Une pêche au hareng
director: Henri Storck
