Homage to Paul Delvaux.

Raoul Servais’s first real animation film, Harbour Lights (1960) is an adaptation of  the traditional Flemish children’s song, Het Loze Vissertje (The Cunning Little Fisherman).

Zandloper (literally translated as ‘sand walker’, 1952) is an experimental short by Raoul Servais set in Ostend.

From his early experimental films (De zandloper / The Sandglass, 1950) to his animation shorts (Havenlichten / Harbour Lights, 1960) and hybrid life action/animation films like the international coproduction Taxandria (1994), the sea – in many disguises – is never really out of sight in Raoul Servais’ oeuvre (1928).
