Liaisons

20059 min 22 secFilm: Animation, Experimental

Direction: Jean Detheux

Production: Marcel Jean

Produced by the National Film Board of Canada with the financial support of Canadian Heritage through the Interdepartmental Partnership with Official-Language Communities (IPOLC).

This abstract film, full of rich colours and textures, was created thanks to an inventive use of digital technology. It grew out of an unusual process of interchange between the painter Jean Detheux and the composer Jean Derome. The result is a rare meeting of images and music. What we get is an intense meditation on a world in constant renewal, where every form that emerges is immediately engulfed by the next one. It constitutes a sort of diptych with the film Rupture, which follows. A film without words.
