The interviews were made on behalf of Bregstein’s television film Jean Rouch en zijn camera (1978) about French filmmaker and ethnologist Jean Rouch (1917-2004). Rouch was an idiosyncratic director, often starting a new film without a clear approach. Initially, he recorded as much material as possible with uninterrupted shots. Then this realistic material was incorporated into a film, which characterized the cinéma verité. Rouch spent most of his life in Niger.
In the interviews, Rouch talks, among other things, about his insights regarding film, the use of different types of cameras and about his work at the Musée de l’Homme in Paris. He also tells Bregstein, as they drive through Niger in a car, about the country and his contacts with it. In addition, Bregstein speaks with several Nigerian individuals who have worked with Rouch.
