From ´92 through ´95 filmmaterial was collected during all Nioulargues as well as a little at Regatte Royal / Cannes. Finally I decided to come up with an unconventional film: No narration but instead a ”dialogue” of sailors, skippers and owners created by the statements collected. Also music should play a strong part.
The result was something not seen before in this genre – too close to ”avantgarde” for TV – but besides the countless days and efforts of shooting, there is also a tremendous work of editing behind it. At the world´s largest independent filmfestival in Houston it was honored with Gold and also became ”Video of the Year” by the ”Kreuzerabteilung” of DSV. So even more than ”La Nioulargue” this homage catches the spirit of the St.Tropez event, the ambiente, the philosophies, from what it takes to handle these vessels to the visual joy and beauty of the spectacle. A counterpoint to the classics is presented with push button sailing aboard the ultra modern cruiser/racer ”Wallygator”. |
