"Édouard Georg À Cély" is a short fiction imagined by André Sauvage while he visits the painter and engraver Edouard Goerg. Monsieur Tesson has the habits of a lonely man: he is maniacal and misogynistic. To teach him a lesson, a couple of friends, the Cymboles, come to his house with a young woman, "Mademoiselle Anaïs", without telling him that she is married. Disturbed in his habits by visitors, Mr. Tesson welcomes them reluctantly. But gradually, a feeling of love for Anaïs leads her to give up her manic behavior. The three friends, judging that the joke has gone on long enough, end up letting go of him, pushing him away alone with his cat.

But crotchety old Farmer Al Falfa, who's sick with the flu, rejects the cure -- at first.

This film shot in the south of Angola, is one of the few existing archival films of the time. It’s likely that the author filmed these images on command of Norton de Matos who was twice governor of Angola (1912-15 and 1921-24) and that we see in the image. A republican and mason, he was one of the promoters of colonial expansion in Africa, which began in the early 20th century, following the “pacification campaigns” – terrible wars – in Angola and Mozambique. He worked for the development of Angola and the settlement of Portuguese colonial settlers. The first part shows the opening of the trade and agricultural fair in the coastal city of Benguela. The atmosphere is very provincial Portuguese. Some Angolans walk through the frames; some are well-dressed – suits, hats – others are employees. Then a report on a Congress of Medicine and finally an aviation demonstration. It’s a promotional film about the development of southern Angola.
