Direction: Masoud Raouf

Production: Masoud RaoufMarcel JeanMarc Bertrand

Script: Masoud Raouf

A National Film Board of Canada production in co-production with Masoud Raouf.

With its interplay of shadow and light, of paint in movement, Blue Like a Gunshot is a work of great visual power. It is also a reflection on our world. In its evocation of the conflict between civilization and nature, the absurd vanity of human warfare contrasts with the harmony of the natural world.
