Watching DP Andr\u00e9 Goeffers shoot a short film at his local school, Jean-Claude knew he had to become a cinematographer. So in 1962 he decided to go to the then newly formed film school INSAS to be trained by among others Andr\u00e9 Delvaux. After graduating in 1966 and working on lots of shorts he got his first assignment as a DP on the feature film Miss O&#8217;Gynie et les hommes fleurs by Samy Pavel. Many more films followed until 2005.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"399\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sbcine.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2025\/04\/IMG_1643.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14156\" style=\"width:366px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sbcine.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_1643.png 399w, https:\/\/www.sbcine.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_1643-350x350.png 350w, https:\/\/www.sbcine.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_1643-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/www.sbcine.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_1643-200x200.png 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 399px) 100vw, 399px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In parallel with his career as a documentary camera operator at RTBF television, he became a teacher at the INSAS film school, helping to train numerous classes of cinematography students. His attachment to INSAS remained undiminished, and he faithfully and lovingly joined the non-profit organization Les amis de l&#8217;INSAS as soon as it was founded, to continue to stand by the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1993 his was one the ten founding members( Michel Baudour, Raymond Fromont, Andr\u00e9 Goeffers, Michel Houssiau, Jean-Claude Neckelbrouck, Patrice Payen, Willy Stassen, Walther Vanden Ende, Yves Vandermeeren, Michel Van Laer) of the Belgian society of cinematographers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sbcine.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2025\/04\/IMG_1646-1200x675.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14161\" style=\"width:561px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sbcine.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_1646-1200x675.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.sbcine.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_1646-744x419.webp 744w, https:\/\/www.sbcine.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_1646-420x236.webp 420w, https:\/\/www.sbcine.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_1646-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.sbcine.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_1646-600x338.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.sbcine.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_1646.webp 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The SBC will remember Jean-Claude for his kindness and passion for cinema.
