Parade

In 1 973. Jacques Tati f!ilmed Parade at the Stockholm Cirkus.

The f!ilm was based on Impressions Sportives,

his world-famous music-hall act.

He shot f!or the f!irst time on video, but also on 16mm and 35mm.

The 201 3 restoration you are about to see

respects the disparity of the various f!ormats and textures of! the original.
