Paroles d'oiseaux à Toro Muerto

1988 • 10 min • Canada

This video links man's prehistoric traces in nature to the myth of the destruction of humanity. The birds speak about the frailty of the balance between culture and nature. Primitive figures which evoke Peruvian history emerge from Chantal duPont's paintings and take part in actual situations. In his flight, the eagle releases aman, only to eventually become his prisoner. From within a blaze where birds are consumed, a human form emerges. It has become both stone and archeological symbol.

Postscript

Rally de Portugal 1988

1988 • 55 min

The 1988 World Championship really hotted up as the action moved to Portugal for the Port Wine Rally. Cesare Fiorio's team were debuting the new Lancia Integrale featuring more power, longer travel suspension and wider tyres. But the opposition was getting more competitive - Mazda had Hannu Mikkola and Ingvar Carlsson, Ford Stig Blomqvist, Didier Auriol and Carlos Sainz, and Volkswagen had Erwin Weber. Lancia fielded Markku Alen, Miki Biasion and Mikael Ericsson. Revised safety measures ensured spectators would leave the drivers to concentrate on the terrain whilst there was every reason to engage in a full battle for championship points.

Olympus Rally 1988

1988 • 53 min

Despite its Mediterranean sounding name, Round 7 of the FIA World Rally Championship was held in the United States of America, starting at Tacoma, in Washington State. Lancias main competitors were absent from this rally, regrouping themselves for the major European events still to come, but the Olympus provided another milestone in rallying - the first event entered by a four-wheeled steering car-the Mitsubishi Galant V driven by Michael Lieu. A first tentative dip in the rallying ocean, how long before 4-w-s joins 4-w-d as the norm in the effort to utilize every ounce of horsepower?

1988 • 60 min

The director's personal account of a year at Anholt, where he settled down and lived alone in a house: It is my attempt to glimpse an origin and heritage that we all have within us, and on the understanding of which our continued existence depends.
