Emile Degelin
Umberto Bettencourt, Christie Dermie
"Palaver" tells us the day of three Congolese students (Albert, Victor and Marcel) who visit Bruges for a tour of the city, and end up on the beaches of Ostend. During their trip, they cross a beautiful blond on the arm of an equally superb African.

Si le vent te fait peur
Emile Degelin
Elisabeth Dulac, Guy Lesire
Claude and Pierre are brother and sister yet it is apparent early on that they are physically attracted to each other. In order to suborn their feelings they enter into relationships with others but nothing they do seems to work - they are always drawn back to their same fatal attraction.
If the Wind Frightens You
Sirènes
Emile Degelin
Degelin takes a step further here and delivers a musical tale that could qualify as 'filmed music' or 'a musical picture'. Taking its inspiration from James Joyce's Ulysses the film creates a dream- and desert-like seaside world of shipwreck and long-haired mermaids. These seven minutes of pure experimentation were awarded the silver bear at Berlin Festival in 1961.

Emile Degelin
Peter Faber, Jadwiga Jankowska-Cieślak
A 40-year-old architect begins to doubt his role as a father in a world sliding into decadence. When he meets a young Polish girl he runs off with her to Rhodes. His psycho-moralistic angst is presented in a series of flashbacks when the hijack of his airplane forces him to take stock of his life.
