Visuals: There's a dark room. Then, there's a yellow light (which looks like the sun) from behind two silhouetted statues. Following this, there's another light illuminating the statues. The statues are a man with a hammer and a cogwheel on his hands and a woman carrying a heap of wheat. Both statues are over a blue semi-circle, surrounded by cotton clouds. Inside the circle, we read (on the border) "ARS LONGA VITA BREVIS", which in Latin means "Art is long, life is short". Below the text is two stylized initials "BR". Below it is "FILMS" in yellow, with black borders.
