Synopsis

The young producer Barbet Schroeder had the idea of supplying a 16mm camera, along with colour film stock, to six filmmaker friends and of asking them to make a short film about a Parisian neighbourhood. The films are simple and original, freed up from all technical and economic constraints, shot on the hoof in quick, improvised takes and with live sound… such was the outcome of this experiment supported by Godard, Rohmer and Chabrol.
