Thierry Zéno (born Thierry Jonard; 22 April 1950 – 7 June 2017)[1] was a Belgian author-filmmaker.[2]

His films include the controversial horror film Vase de Noces (1974),[2][3] and a documentary ¡Ya basta! Le cri des sans-visage (1995–1997) on the Zapatista rebels of Chiapas, Mexico.[2][4]

His fascination with artists is reflected in his works Les muses sataniques (1983), Ce tant bizarre Monsieur Rops (2000) and Eugène Ionesco, voix et silences (1987).[5]

Zéno created a "video" department at the Académie de Dessin et des Arts décoratifs de Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, where he was a teacher from 1985 to 1999, and was the director beginning in 1999.[1]

He died on 7 June 2017.[6]
