Is 'Jonah' part of a trilogy?

I watched this movie in 1977 or '78; found it brilliant, and moving.

It was screened at a US college, in the context of "alternative movie" nights.

I seem to recall it was presented as part of a trilogy. I can't remember if the presenter grouped it with other movies by the same director, or had grouped it with movies by others.

Is anyone here familiar with this question? Is "Jonah" sometimes perceived as belonging to a larger trio of films, either by intention of the creators, or simply categorized that way by film critics?

Thanks,

Doesn't ring any kind of bell, mate, wouldn't figure it is a part of a trilogy; Although if it is, I would be more than happy to give the other couple of films a chance!

Jonah was the last of 3 films whose screenplays were written by Alain Tanner and John Berger. The other two were The Salamander (1969) and The Middle of the World (1974). Not exactly a trilogy (different characters/stories/themes), but maybe this somehow morphed in your recollection. Just a guess...
