The Brownies, or a Dream on a Winter Night

1987 • 11 min • Soviet Union

The main character sits in an armchair in front of the TV and sleeps, and on the screen the House Spirits group sings songs about the need to save water and electricity. The genre of the cartoon is completely uncharacteristic for the USSR: throughout the entire animation not a single line is uttered, but only songs in rock and roll style. The melodies, completely unusual for the USSR, but on topics that were quite relevant at that time, were written by the composer Anatoly Kiselyov. The animation breaks away from Samsonovs mellow oil paint-style developed in the first half of the 80s, with a much more raw and brusque kind of style followed up by the 1988 short 32 December, also a completely rock musical animation with music form the same group as this one.

Rally Argentina 1987

1987 • 53 min

Italian Massimo Biasion had a golden chance to clinch the World Rally Championship for Manufacturers by winning the 1987 Rally of Argentina in the fabulous Delta HF 4WD. It placed him under plenty of pressure as the field headed away from Buenos Aires. Kenneth Eriksson and Erwin Weber had Volkswagen Golf GTi cars to call upon, Argentinian Jorge Recalde could be expected to go well in a Lancia Delta, while Ingvar Carlsson's Mazda 323 4WD was back after modifications including improved cooling and the introduction of variable central differential gear. Fast and spectacular, the cameras caught plenty of entertaining action on the route to Cordoba.

New Zealand Rally 1987

1987 • 55 min

Hot favourite for the eighth round of the World Rally Championship, to take place in New Zealand, was up-and-coming Swedish star Kenneth Eriksson in the Volkswagen Golf 16-valve GTI. Few of the major manufacturers undertook the long trip to Auckland, making the event one in which the talented youngster could acquire valuable points. This video follows his progress throughout the four days of the rally, which featured 36 special stages with exotic names such as Mystery Creek, French Pass and Rerewhakaaitu. The AWA Clarion event was supported by Ford through the Motogard Rallysport Team which entered a Sierra XR 4x4 for Stig Blomqvist, Lancia with Markkus Alen's Portuguese recce car in the hands of Franz Wittman, and Subaru, Mazda and Nissan, though not in factory-backed trim.

Rally de Portugal 1987

1987 • 56 min

Twelve months after the tragedy-struck Portuguese World Championship Rally, the top teams and drivers returned to the country for the third round of the 1987 contest with mixed emotions. So much had changed. Drivers had changed factories. Factories had left the sport only for others to join in. It was always so, but the major change in the intervening period had been the cars themselves - pulled back more towards standard specification by stringent rule-changes - most as a direct result of Portugal 1986 and the later death of Henri Toivonen and his co-driver in the Tour de Corse. The cameras were rolling just the same though, and some top-class shots and sequences were extracted from the rally, which featured the major factories struggling to maintain progress against the stiff odds of suspension unequal to the very rough roads.

Safari Rally 1987

1987 • 60 min

The annual Safari Rally sees the World Championship move away from its more usual flat-out tarmac and gravel special stages and into the endurance of an event ploughing through the bush and scrubland of East Africa. Race with the crews through the mud tracks and sparsely populated villages, flash the spanners at the service checks, call upon every ounce of reserve to reach the finishing line.

Tour de Corse 1987

1987 • 55 min

The tragedies which had beset the Corsican round of the World Championship in previous years took its toll on the entry for the fifth round of the 1987 series, but the excitement of the event couldn't be denied. All eyes were on the BMW M3s, making their world debut. Bernard Beguin was in the Rothmans colours, while Marc Duez ran under the aegis of Prodrive BMW. Miki Biasion and Yves Loubet were expected to mount a considerable challenge in the works Lancia Delta. How did the factory Fords of Stig Blomqvist and Kalle Grundel fare? Or the up-and-coming Kenneth Eriksson (Volkswagen Golf GTi 16v)? The cameras capture the spectacular action on the tight and fast special stages.

Within Dialogue (Silence)

1987 • 6 min • Canada

Within Dialogue (Silence) begins with a bright, colourful scene of a man and woman in a restaurant. The viewer is then led through the cool and silent interior of a chic, white apartment. This journey is continued by the woman in the tape, who, we discover, must secretly distance herself from her life, and her life style, which consists of empty aesthetics and unfulfilled desires. The tape ends with a conversation between the woman and the man that not only reflects a glaring lack of communication, it serves to underline the isolation of women.
