Abstract
This paper corresponds to a 16 mm movie of 15 mn.(1) Nematic liquid crystals offer a large variety of convective instabilities (2). Very little is known about the non linear behavior of these instabilities but there are some indications that a sequence of bifurcations similar to isotropic materials should arise (3).
