Thanks for the Potter comment, John. Come to think of it, I'd seen
something featuring a two-way intereview with him and Stephen Bochco
that was apparently a disaster: Potter aloof and disdainful of any US
TV and Bochco at a loss.

Yes, I've seen some of his video work with Anne-Marie Mieville and I
think that that would indeed qualify. But I think that the tapes I've
seen were video releases, as it were, rather than productions for
French television. I'm a bit unclear on their release
histories--excepting 6x2: SUR ET SOUS LA COMMUNICATION ("on and under
communication"), a six-part series done for French TV in
1976-77.
(In your post you'd mentioned the possibility of Brechtian documentary.
This videotape could perhaps fit the bill.)
I guess I need to go back and review the CAMERA OBSCURA (no. 8-9-10)
pieces on it and FRANCE/TOUR/DETOUR/DEUX/ENFANTS...
