A film based on a comparison between two locations in Florida, and Maine. It is about remembrance, a subject it treats through the chronicling of events and the development of a idiosyncratic way of seeing. The audience is given the sense of viewing these places through the filter of time and the properties of a particular mind's eye. Original scenes are used much as an Impressionist uses a landscape: visual elements are emphasized using film techniques such as animation and optical printing, and the slow rhythms and random nature of recall are evoked through sound and structure.

In a recording studio, a note is played on the piano, its sound wave spreads around the room, which is then immaculately reproduced by Thomson's devices and technology.

Y Rhaeadr is a five minute film about the making of a landscape painting.

A child playing in the playground, a silent street. Innocent scenes which take on another aspect when viewed as the last few minutes before the bomb fell.

Kiesel, in Incendio Italiano (roughly, Italian Conflagration) takes the metaphor of highway travel as the central axis for an exploration of poetic sensibility in the grand tradition of Goethe's Italian journeys and Thomas Mann's Death in Venice.

Sikkim is a paradise for the naturalist. The steep variations inelevation and rainfall help create a multitude of species within a limited area. The original inhabitants of Sikkim belonged to the Lepcha tribe, then came the members of the Bhutia tribe from Tibet, and even later the Nepalese. The Sikkimese love to decorate not only their homes but anything that can be decorted -with flowers. This film introduces to the viewer some floral - species of Sikkim.

"My strong interest in and longing for movies were beginning to take shape, but I still was not clear about what I should create. Therefore, those days it wouldn't be right to say I was using a camera but it was as if a camera was controlling me."

Short by Fabrizio Plessi.

A small village of natives, somewhere in the West Indies, with its ancestral traditions, its hints of superstitions and its beliefs in bewitchments, in an environment of fishermen and cane cutters, with its old sorcerer who says he has the power of life and death.

The “Voice of Kenya” is the radio that symbolizes the country’s independence. Which means that being a producer there is no small issue. To get a children’s chorus to rehearse in a church, to put together a programme with champagne, or to prepare a recording of a musical edition for Christmas, these are just some of his numerous tasks…

From inside the kiosk, you can hear the trains leaving for Nairobi. In this little restaurant, the customers with the lowest income have gathered to eat a cheap meal, the only one they can afford. All around the station people rush about, cook and eat, in time to the rattle of the trains.
