Walk to Ecolint

What's so interesting about a walk from the tram stop at Grange Canal down the footpath and around the International School of Geneva? - Unless it's what you did when you were young. A walk around an empty school on a grey day in December, 1975.

I'm impressed that you had the foresight at your young age to shoot a film that was clearly intended to be looked at as a middle aged adult forty years later.

Loved the glimpse of "Magic is a foot, my friend" at 1:32!

Got any more?

EXACTLY as I remember Ecolint '73-'81 - what a wonderful trip down memory lane, encompassing a great deal of my youth!!

Oh my goodness.... how cool of you to think to film this all that time ago... I know it could seem boring or pointless to the average...but it is crazy how much changes... but still some familiar sights....

This was shot just after I left Ecolint, in 1973. The only difference I found was the house facing the Château gone. So many memories. Alexander is there...

Absolutely. And if you were too broke for a cannette but wanted to hang out you would be reduced to syrop framboise.
