As a graduate in Roman Philology and lecturer at the University of Liège in Belgium, Olivier Smolders also teaches at INSAS, the Brussels film school. He has written various books on literature and the cinema, and produces films via his own production company, Les Films du Scarabée.

He believes that groups of words can create a powerful impact accompanying a specific tempo and frames so always applies poems and prose in his films.

Olivier Smolders毕业于比利时Liège大学罗马语言学专业,也是那里的讲师,他还在布鲁塞尔电影学校INSAS任教。他写过好几本关于文学和电影的书,并且通过自己的公司Les Films du Scarabée制作电影。

他相信成组的词语与特定的节奏和画面结合可以产生强大的冲击力,所以总是在电影中加入诗歌散文。
