The Seasons In Quincy: Four Portraits Of John Berger (12A)

In 1973, writer, painter and art critic John Berger moved to the tiny Alpine village of Quincy in the Haute-Savoie, where he vowed to document the slow decline of subsistence peasant farming through his work, including an acclaimed trilogy of novels entitled Into Their Labours. This five-year project conceived by Tilda Swinton, Colin MacCabe and Christopher Roth, comprises four short essay films, which reflect different aspects of Berger’s life in south-eastern France.
