Written and produced by Colin Nears.
A series of four programmes on the younger generation of filmmakers in France.
Introduced by Olivier Todd.

"I have tried to make films that could, in a sense, be compared to a work of literature; films which would give the spectator imaginative freedom in the way that the reader of a novel is free to use his own imagination... the film would hold his attention, yet his imagination would be allowed its own freedom to act, to weave itself in and around the images on the screen".
