Seven Pieces for Black and White Cinema

Otar Iosseliani... Seven Pieces for Black and White Cinema (1983, Flash Video). "'...Before we start work on the film 'Les Favoris de la Lune', I tried to capture on film my first impressions of the city and the people who inhabit it. This etude of Paris, slightly shortened, was shown on television.' Otar Iosseliani is a Georgian-French film maker. Due to censorship, his films were repeatedly banned in the USSR, inducing Ioseliani to migrate to France in 1982."
