The Farming of the old times

A documentary made at the very end of the Showa era, looking back at traditional agricultural models as they still existed at the beginning of this same era (in the 1930s). A working year is recreated in Kanegasaki (Iwate Prefecture, Tohoku region). From "threshing the paddy fields" with a hoe in April to "filling the ground with barley" in April of the following year, this film photographs seasonal agricultural work and crops such as hemp and chestnuts, showing how the ancestors were engaging their all bodies and using their ingenuity to cultivate. In order to transmit the spirit of their devotion to the earth to future generations, this documentary film faithfully reproduces and records the agricultural tools, the cultivation of rice, wheat and soybeans of yesteryear, which are on the verge of being forgotten.

Tour de Corse 1988

1988 • 55 min

1988 looked to be a year of total domination for Lancia Martini. The Lancia team had won every round of the manufacturers' series since the 1987 Acropolis, but their greatest strength was on loose surfaces - not Corsica's many tarmac stages. The cameras were present every step of the way as Yves Loubst and Bruno Saby fought to maintain a record the envy of the other top teams, knowing that in Corsica the BMW M3 had been quicker than the Delta in 1987, and a much improved Ford Sierra Cosworth - an extremely rapid device on tarmac - was debuting at the '88 event, driven by Didier Auriol. This exciting video captures the full inside story of a classic mid-season confrontation.

New Zealand Rally 1988

1988 • 55 min

A superb momento of rallying in New Zealand. Only three European crews made the long trip - Jimmy McRae (Ford XR4), Simon Stubbings (Nissan 323) and Se pages Heider (Opel Kadett GS1). The Australiasian aces gave their all at this combined tarmac/forest stage rally but ultimately they had little hope of catching Austrian Heider despite valiant efforts from Ray Wilson (Nissan 323 Turbo). The slippery conditions caught out many competitors, the quagmire bordering most stages causing havoc, when even the best service crews took an hour to rescue cars which strayed but a few feet from their chosen course! All in all, an action-packed review of this round of the 1988 Drivers' World Rally Championship.

Test

1988 • 3 min

These experiments for Baes’s stop motion film ‘46 bis, rue de Belleville’ are an art work in its own right. The stop motion technique he uses belongs to the realm of animation. He never handles the camera in an obvious way, but shoots frame per frame in order to come up with a dreamlike staccato effect. With ‘Test’ Pascal Baes sets up his trademark: a low-tech edition of the time-lapse photography, applied to choreography.

Zwei Herzen und ein Schlag

1988 • 40 min • East Germany

Through very personal statements by the protagonists, the film provides an insight into the individual form of (romantic) relationships of young heterosexual adults (15 to 19 years old according to the commentary) and, at the end, focuses against the premature acceptance of sexual relationships. It reveals itself to be an interview film with couples who went on a tandem tour together for the film and were "spontaneously willing" to talk about their relationship.
