Emmental is lovely. To us, it looks like something out of a picture book. And this kind of landscape always has a history. And many good artists come from this landscape. And then the cows in this landscape. In Emmental, there are cows that look at passers-by sweetly, with big, pure cow eyes--and gaze after them. Long... In Emmental, each hill has a north side and a warm, beautiful south side. The filmmaker and sheep farmer, Guido Haas, live on the north side of a hill in Emmental, which is called Cold Ground and his house lies low in the valley and is a real Emmental house, with a raised driveway to the barn and a big shingle roof on top. Spiteful, rich neighbors must have gotten the idea of calling it Foxhole.
Director
Inclinations is the result of several years of collaboration between the artist couple Eva and Guido Haas. Scratched and printed directly onto black film, the film frames were synchronized frame by frame with Dave Brubeck's Take 5. The working print of the film featured the shortest possible cuts, only four to five frames long. Where necessary, three of the four frames were then painted over in black again in order to be able to assemble the frame precisely.
