What is A Propos De Nice / Those of Our Land about?

A PROPOS DE NICE, 1930, 25 min. Dir. Jean Vigo and his cameraman Boris Kaufman went down to the capital of the French Riviera and shot many hours, sometimes clandestinely, around the city and of its inhabitants; the result was this stirring, provocative portrait of Nice that stands among the best of the era's "city symphonies." THOSE OF OUR LAND (Ceux De Chez Nous),1914/1939, 45 min. Made by a very young Sacha Guitry (later one of France’s finest actor/directors) as a kind of counter-propaganda exercise against Germanic claims for the superiority of their "Kultur," Guitry introduces us to 12 French luminaries, including Sarah Bernhardt, Monet, Rodin, Degas, and August Renoir. Shot silent with an early amateur camera, this was "a celebration of French creative genius," according to its director, that showed these artists in the act of creating, or at least pretending to be creating. In 1939, Guitry added spoken commentary to the film, which is the version that will be screened.
