I hope you will enjoy this film, these films, which of course are only the beginning of cycles of triplets to which we will dance across the years.
That is the point of these movies, those movies, a documentalist drama that is the story of a movie of the story of a movie of a story that is not. A story that never arrives, a movie that never stops, here dancing among animated spirits, which I have decided to speak and spell and show and sing… and yes yes yes yes dance and dance, from one foot to the other foot and back again and back again… the story of this story of a movie of a story that, of course, I know nothing about.
For that is the nature of television, especially in this Trilogy, for after you Think, you have a Thought, and after you have a Thought, you have a Thunk.
And today, here now, it is September 7th, 2026, the first Day of the 26 Day calendar in which the world of this movie of movies of stories takes place…and I have begun the movie of this story more than 30 years ago, some day or other… and in all those years I have worked on it every day, day after day, each lost day sunk there in the invisibility of time. I do have to say that it is only now that I am able to tell you this movie, the story of this movie, the movie of this story…Simply because its' a movie of the present, which tomorrow will be the past, and yesterday will be the future.
This movie has been made using electricities, by the person that I am. And thus, despite their spurious claims to assume the powers of my judgement, I say :
