Schenglet
Animation, 7 min.
by Laurent Nègre
Switzerland, December 2002
In order to enter the zone over-protected by the Schengen accords, it will henceforth be necessary to have a “Schenglet” put on: an electronic bracelet which knows who you are, where you are going and for how long. Woe to anyone who refuses to wear it. This film, a final project prior to graduation from the Geneva school, tends toward the fashion of explanatory documentary, but includes the figurative allusions and the humour which succeed in rendering it more acceptable than the reality it seeks to describe.
