He was renowned for securing financing and distribution for diverse and often challenging films. In February 2005, Balsan was found dead in the offices of his production company, Ognon Pictures, in Paris. He was known to have suffered from depression, and killed himself by hanging. __NOTOC__ == Early life and career == Born in Arcachon in 1954, Balsan was part of France's upper class as a member of the Wendel family, an industrial dynasty. He received a Jesuit education in Amiens and later studied economics in Paris. In 1973, Balsan's film career began when he was cast as Gawain in Robert Bresson's ''Lancelot of the Lake'' (1974). While Balsan continued to act in small roles in friends's films (he played a pirate in Jacques Rivette's ''Nor'west'' (1976)), his interest turned to production. He assisted Bresson on ''The Devil, Probably'' (1977) in 1976 and lensed a documentary portrait of French music teacher Nadia Boulanger the following year. In 2004 he was a member of the jury at the 26th Moscow International Film Festival.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=26th Moscow International Film Festival (2004) )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Humbert Balsan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
