Born in 1970 in an industrial town in Holland, Serge van Duijnhoven came to film-journalism and scripwriting via post-industrial culture, through an interest in literature and theater. Serge is an accomplished author of numerous books of fiction and non-fiction. He was a war-corrspondent in Sarajevo in the nineties, and in Kosovo and Macedonia during the succeeding Balcan wars.
Frontman of the band Poets Don't Dance. Not content simply to publish his poems, he performs them live, accompanied by his literary group, against a backdrop of electronic music and video images. He loves to combine words and music, and has included CDs along with some of his works of fiction and non-fiction. He is the founder of the artistic magazine MillenniuM, a contributor to various Belgian and Dutch periodicals (e.g. de Morgen, De groene Amsterdammer) and the main correspondent in Cannes and other major filmfestivals for the International Feature Agency and Cobra.be. Van Duijnhoven is the founder of the experimental cinema-redux network of alternative and avant-guard filmmakers, journalists and artists trying to focus on the essence of the most sublime of all human arts: cinema.

Currently he lives in Brussels. His latest collections of short stories is entitled The Summer Still to Come (2007). His newest publication is called Bitterzoet (2011) - a hommage to the French singer-songwriter Serge Gainsbourg who died twenty years ago - in 1991. Later on in 2011, a collection of essays and interviews with movie-directors will be published in a book calles The Sublime Illusion.
