Des graines dans le vent

Two unfinished films. In DES GRAINES DANS LE VENT, the handful of British workers tramping towards Amsterdam to fight for their rights in the “European March Against Unemployment, Insecurity and Exclusion” look pretty lost. Kramer accompanies the little group, but is overcome with doubt from the beginning: “You shouldn’t being doing something like this if you don’t want to, Robert.” Kramer leaves the group after a week, after being given advice about what isn’t working in the film that is still in the process of being made. MAQUETTE is an excursion into the world of dance and other cultural activities in Toulon: “There is a film that I didn’t complete. I shot it in Châteauvallon with a dance group called Artefact. A rough cut of it exists entitled MAQUETTE, but that’s all I did with it.” UN PLAN D’ENFER is Kramer’s only production to make use of the Steadicam and was a commission for Société Lyonnaise de Banque.
