MM. Lou Hoefnagels and Luk Blancquaert had two demonstrations, the first of slides of costumes set out for an exhibition of theatrical costumes and the second a film of a Czech mime troop performing in Amsterdam during the Fete des Fous (June 1980).

The selection of slides had been made by the designer who mounted the exhibition. The film showed how necessary it was to experiment. There were various ways of photographing a work and the only way to discover the best was to take one work, use different methods and then compare the results, and decide which was the best for recording the performance.

In the film of the Czech company, first one camera was tried but the performance did not come across and two cameras were not satisfactory. A performance without an audience was tried but the stage director (who could not read a film script) said it was necessary to take this and that in close-up. In a filmed or TV production the theatre dropped away - nothing was left open for stage gesture. It would be possible to work on one act only and see what happened; after all it was not always necessary to film the whole play.
