No cinephile can afford to miss them. They are an exciting bridge between the Nouvelle Vague and the avant-garde, between the film poem and the narrative film. These films have lost nothing over time, quite the contrary. They have grown in intensity in their personal, poetic and cinematic vision. \u003cbr\u003eJonas Mekas (2000)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Group of films produced under the flag of Zanzibar has been for me the greatest discovery in French cinema. It's a group of films that nobody seriously interested in cinema can afford to miss. It's an exciting bridge between the Nouvelle Vague and the avant-garde, between poetry and narrative. None of these films has lost anything in time: just the opposite. They have grown in their intensity of personal, poetic and cinematic vision. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eJonas Mekas (2000)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSally Shafto is a historian and critic of cinema.
