How did you find the films in Rouen?
This is a strange story because I asked Federica to write a letter to the Polymage about it because Andre Nuflar stayed in Palmerino and I met a person to make a film
and so maybe there are films in Palmerino with Verno Lee so please Federica write to Polymage because I don't know French language
and ask for a film about Verno Lee or Violet Page. Federica wrote a letter and Polymage answers that no Verno Lee, no film about Verno Lee
but there are films of Violet Page. It's incredible. So just we move as soon as possible to Rouen the CD of Polymage
and then we met Agnès de la Forge, the responsibility of the archive of Andre and Berton Nuflar
and she showed us for the first time this little film, one minute, the film was 9.5mm, mute without words obviously
and it was incredible because I knew Verno Lee about the books, the words, the mind, the sensibility
and the great volunteer to understand, to know was like a pioneer we say, like a pioneer
and see the picture of her but to see in Fresne, Normandy when she moved, she walked
and my skin was in Italian say the Pelle d'Oca, skin of canard, skin of canard. I was like Agnès, you understand what this Italian have me for this
but my emotion was really, really strong because the image of Verno Lee is perfect, the image of Verno Lee in my mind
because it was a writer, was just very kind with the children Henriette and Jean-Havien Nuflar, also ironic because one day she understands that Andre
take a film of her, say the lady, close the eyes and put the cigarette behind, put the cigarette behind
and talk with Bert with a really friend because Bert, I smell the sensibility of Bert
because it's Bert really that the person would seem to have this kind of relationship.
Bert is an engine of this wonderful document for us, the Polymage film.
