Very dear Bridget,
Here is the film which was shown on French T.V. about foreign artists. There is only a part of it which is dedicated to Ernest, but they worked much on filming the paintings in a cinema studio, so I think that some aspects of it could be used by you. Anabase the company gave me a time-coded video so that you can choose the images you wish. They are willing to send you these as soon as you ask for them. Their address and FAX are: Monsieur CHARBAGI

We were very glad to meet you last summer and it was a great pleasure to have such a rich dialogue with you and your very kind and helpful collaborator. It is a necessity for all South Africans to enter the great debate on the spiritual and material future of our country, Africa, and the whole world. We have all the fundamental “données” in hand and the challenge put to us is whether or not, we are going to have the openness of mind, dedication of heart, and courage to stand up to it and put these “données” together.
The image of the South African youth which you have given us is one that brought so much hope, that we are entering a new period where humanity will be able to concentrate on the essential: our spiritual survival.
Now, dear Bridget, we send you our warmest feelings to you both and ask you to transmit to Govan Mbeki, whom we are looking forward to meet soon, our best greetings and thanks
