In the Beginning Was the Eye (2003)

This small, charming film explores Alpine landscapes and the tourists who seek respite there after a busy year. Bady Minck uses old photographs and postcards to create a monument to travel kitsch, employing digital technology to revitalize memories. The result is both mesmerizing and strangely beautiful, revealing a hidden soul within towns and cities. The film journeys through time using images of a famous mountain from postcards, revealing the historical impact of political events and personal stories on idealized landscapes. The postcards were written by travelers who saw the same place at different points in history.
