En marge (On the Edge)

Documentary for the Swiss-French Television (TSR) on 7 April 1968, black and white, 29’, 02”

Director: Catherine Borel
This is a film about four Fribourg personalities: the artist Bernard Schorderet, the philosopher I.M. Bochenski, O.P., the musician Fr. Pierre Kaelin, and the artist Armand Niquille.  The last appears 20 minutes and 19 seconds into the film for the final ten minutes of the documentary. Filmed standing in front of his easel, Armand Niquille is painting three floral vases.  He replies to various questions and talks, among other things, about different artists, personal inner conflict, the ego, faith, and the genius of the contemporary epoch.
