Abstract

Filming rituals means filming precise and extra-ordinary moments in the life of a community. The Saint Vincent de Chichery, in Northern Burgundy, filmed several years apart, shows the repetition of a ritual practice whose very essence is proselytising. This ritual also shows how for a long time the religious organised it and profited from it. Inscribed in a territory, or even a particular terroir, each rite is there to remind us that there is always opposition between the continuity of life and the discontinuity of thought and that in its exclusivity it is paradoxically the expression of a universal conception of the human world.
