Career edit

Fabrice du Welz, born 21 October 1972. Initially he was a student at a Jesuit school. Before he studied at the Dramatic Arts Conservatory of Liège (Belgium) then and then a year at the INSAS, the cinema training institute of Brussels.[1] Starting in 1990, he directed a number of films in Super 8. After his studies, he collaborated on comedy sketches for Canal+, "La Grande Famille", "Nulle Part Ailleurs". In 1999, he directed the short film Quand on Est Amoureux C'est Merveilleux, which won the Grand Prize of the Gerardmer Festival in 2001.[1]

In 1999, he directed the short film Wonderful Love that won the Grand Prize of the Festival of Gerardmer.

In 2012, he directed Colt 45,[4] from a screenplay by Fathi Beddiar starring Gérard Lanvin and Joeystarr, produced by Thomas Langmann that ultimately failed to deliver in the budget, forcing the director to delete important scenes that were too expensive. Moreover, the two stars refused to come back on the set as Du Welz would be there too. He stated "It almost ruined me" and that the set became "a toxic environment".[2] Fabrice du Welz and Fathi Beddiar, later decided not to support the film when it was released in August 2014.

In 2013, he directed Alleluia, a free adaptation of the news story immortalized in 1970 by the film The Honeymoon Killers starring Laurent Lucas and Lola Dueñas.[2] The film was selected for the 'Directors' Fortnight' in Cannes in 2014.

In 2015, he directed Message from the King produced by David Lancaster (Drive, Whiplash, Nightcrawler) and Stephen Cornwell (A Most Wanted Man) in Los Angeles starring Chadwick Boseman, Luke Evans, Teresa Palmer, Alfred Molina and Natalie Martinez. The film premiered on 8 September 2016 at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival. His next film, Adoration, was released in 2019 to critical acclaim. It received the André Cavens Award for Best Film by the Belgian Film Critics Association (UCC).[5] At the 11th Magritte Awards, Adoration was nominated for six awards, including Best Film and Best Screenplay for Du Welz.[6]
