This is a landscape and population that is changing rapidly as small scale agriculture is disappearing and the generation who inhabited a pre-mechanised world is dying out.

Почему 26? «Все очень просто, — отвечает приятель, — когда мы были на войне в Ливане, в 82-м году, в моей роте знали, что я стрелять в людей не смогу.

И я перестрелял всех 26 собак, которые были в этой деревне. С тех пор они мне снятся каждую ночь. Ты мог бы что-нибудь с этим сделать?»

"I have been lucky enough to be able to film the cleaning and restoration work on a painting by Pierre Bonnard: Nu dans la baignoire. I completely inhabited this canvas.

From a staff of 14, Jihad is down to three cooks, one delivery driver and a secretary in less than six months. The good-natured pluck of the remaining employees is at the heart of the film. Subterfuges for putting up a brave united front include scheduling food orders from a coin-operated pay phone when the office phone is cut off for nonpayment.

This French documentary pays homage to a young man whose passion left a rich and valuable legacy to the world of cinema. Henri Langlois was one of the co-founders of the Cinematheque Francaise, a museum which contains many rare artifacts from early cinema as well as one of the most extensive film archives in the world. This documentary will be most meaningful for those already familiar with Langlois' story. Through old film clips and interviews, Langlois is seen as an eccentric but charismatic young visionary obsessed with preserving and locating old films.

The most legendary 'sequence' ever achieved by a mountaineer: on 12 and 13 March 1987, in 40 hours, 26-year-old Christophe Profit managed to climb three of the highest north faces in the Alps, in winter: Grandes Jorasses, Eiger, and Matterhorn.
