Nag Ansorge
In , I had just finished filming a documentary about the new buildings of the Cery Psychiatric Hospital near Lausanne, Switzerland when I Professor Muller suggested the idea of acquiring a 16 mm camera for his patients.
"What could you do with a camera and some patients?" he asked me. A little infatuated with the idea, I said, "I'm going to try to do something The experiment interests me.
The Swiss husband and wife duo Ernest 'Nag' and Gisèle Ansorge animated black quartz sand in their short film The Ravens (aka The Crows, ).
How will I introduce myself to a group of patients that I don't know at all?" However, I have to say that after the first 30 seconds, my infatuation was satisfied. I asked the first group of patients, "Do you have anything to say or show by means of a camera?" There was hardly a moment of silence.
They all suddenly said, "Yes, there's something to say." My experiment lasted 19 years. Thirteen films were made, from 10 to 20 minutes in length, of which eight were animated.
