Magnum begynasium bruxellense

Boris Lehman & 145' — 1978

A living chronicle of the inhabitants of the Beguinage district – so called by what it is located on the site of the old beguinage of Brussels. Conceived as an encyclopedic inventory, the film is made up of around thirty chapters nested in the others as so many pieces of a puzzle, or even like a termite hill with numerous and crossed galleries. It takes place in space and in the interstices of a day, starting at dawn and ending at night.
