Music documentary about the jazz festival in Wiesen from 1988. It belonged to the big European jazz festivals of the period and attracted 5-1000 people. In 1988 we recorded the Chico Freeman Quintet, Abdullah Ibrahim Dollar Brand band and Lester Bowie's Brass Fantasy band as well as the athmosphere of the festival.

This film was made by copying experts from one VHS tape to the other. This was a temporary period for the amateur artists who had become independent film makers in the meantime. The Super 8 mm film technique was difficult to be provided by raw material and the popular video technique was a temptation because it was cheap and easy to process. However only the very simple VHS technique was available for the independent film makers. That is why the films did not have such good technical quality and could not be edited properly. New and seductive possibility with serious technical deficiencies. That was the time when the Super 8 film technique started to deteriorate.
