En quelques mots

Series 4
Normand Grégoire, Canada, 1972, 7 min 29 s

This experimental short documents the clash, sometimes obsessive, sometimes glorifying, between man and his mechanized environment. Using photographs, the animator creates varying perspectives through optical manipulation and changing color, achieving bold and provocative effects.

Syrinx
Ryan Larkin, Canada, 1965, 3 min
Musique de Claude Debussy

Nymphe d’Arcadie, Syrinx se jeta dans le Ladon pour échapper à Pan qui la poursuivait. Elle fut aussitôt changée en roseaux avec lesquels le dieu aux cornes et aux pieds de chèvre fabriqua la flûte champêtre à sept tuyaux appelée syrinx ou flûte de Pan. Il se mit ensuite à jouer de façon si harmonieuse que toute la terre fît silence pour l’écouter.

Night Mayor
Guy Maddin, Canada, 2009, 13 min 53 s

Guy Maddin’s latest film is the story of inventor Nihad Ademi, who harnesses the power of the aurora borealis in 1939 Winnipeg. Ademi uses the power to broadcast images of Canada to its own citizens from coast to coast, but in the process angers the government.

The Pendulum, The Pit And Hope (Kyvadlo, jáma a nadeje)
Jan Švankmajer, Czechoslovakia, 1983, 15 min
Adapted from Edgar Allan Poe’s The Pit and the Pendulum

Illustration for Edgar Allan Poe’s story The Pit and the Pendulum by Harry Clarke (1889-1931), first printed in 1919.

Altered States
Ken Russell, USA, 1980, 102 min
Audio excerpts from Voile D’Orphée by Pierre Henry

‘A Harvard scientist conducts experiments on himself with a hallucinatory drug and an isolation chamber that may be causing him to regress genetically.’ – IMDb

Eraserhead
David Lynch, USA, 1977, 89 min

‘Eraserhead is my most spiritual movie. No one understands when I say that, but it is.’ He went on to write about the difficulties he was having making sense of the way the film was “growing” and didn’t know ‘the thing that just pulled it all together.’ He then reveals it was the Bible that provided the solution:

‘So I got out my Bible and I started reading. And one day, I read a sentence. And I closed the Bible, because that was it; that was it. And then I saw the thing as a whole. And it fulfilled this vision for me, 100 percent.’ – WIKI

La villa Santo Sospir
Jean Cocteau, France, 1952, 35 min

‘A 35-minute color film by Cocteau entitled “La Villa Santo Sospir.” Shot in 1952, this is an “amateur film” done in 16mm, a sort of home movie in which Cocteau takes the viewer on a tour of a friend’s villa on the French coast (a major location used in Testament of Orpheus). The house itself is heavily decorated, mostly by Cocteau (and a bit by Picasso), and we are given an extensive tour of the artwork. Cocteau also shows us several dozen paintings as well. Most cover mythological themes, of course. He also proudly shows paintings by Edouard Dermithe and Jean Marais and plays around his own home in Villefranche. This informal little project once again shows the joy Cocteau takes in creating art, in addition to showing a side of his work (his paintings and drawings) that his films often overshadow.’

The Fall of the House of Usher
Jan Švankmajer, Czechoslovakia, 1982, 15 min

‘In this animated version of Edgar Allan Poe’s story, a traveler arrives at the Usher mansion to find that the sibling inhabitants are living under a mysterious family curse: The brother’s senses have become painfully acute, while his sister has become nearly catatonic. As the visitor’s stay at the mansion continues, the effects of the curse reach their terrifying climax, and he must choose between his concern for his hosts’ safety, and his own.’ – IMDb

Remembering Arthur
Martin Lavut, Canada, 2006, 89 min 54 s

In this feature length documentary, filmmaker Arthur Lipsett’s close friend Martin Lavut documents the influence of the eccentric Oscar-nominated film genius. The world of cinema tragically lost Lipsett in 1986 when the Montreal-born artist committed suicide 2 weeks before his 50th birthday. This feature documentary celebrates the life and legacy of one of Canada’s greatest creative minds, who began his filmmaking career at the NFB.

A Trip Down Memory Lane
Arthur Lipsett, Canada, 1965, 12 min 40 s

From Arthur Lipsett (Very Nice, Very Nice and 21-87), another incisive short film that looks at human might, majesty and mayhem. Compiled from some peculiar newsreel items of the last 50 years, the filmmaker calls this a time capsule yet his arrangement of pictures makes it almost explosive. There are hundreds of items, once front-page stuff, but all wryly grotesque when seen in this reshuffle of the past.

Very Nice, Very Nice
Arthur Lipsett, Canada, 1961, 6 min 59 s

Arthur Lipsett’s first film is an avant-garde blend of photography and sound. It looks behind the business-as-usual face we put on life and shows anxieties we want to forget. It is made of dozens of pictures that seem familiar, with fragments of speech heard in passing and, between times, a voice saying, “Very nice, very nice.” It was was critically acclaimed and plays frequently in festivals and film schools around the world.

Our Lady of the Sphere
Larry Jordan, USA, 1969-1972, 10 min

‘A 10 minute colour collage of rococo imagery juxtaposed with symbols and images from antiquity to the space age. The film draws its theme from the Tibetan Book of the Dead.’

Synchromie
Norman McLaren, 1971, 7 min 33 s

Court métrage d’animation présentant des jeux de couleurs, de formes et de sons. En guise de musique, Norman McLaren a dessiné des sons synthétiques et il les a photographiés sur la bande sonore en conservant un parallélisme absolu entre le son et l’image. Synchromie est un film de « son animé » dans le vrai sens du terme.

How Wings Are Attached to the Backs of Angels
Craig Welch, Canada, 1996, 11 min 5 s

The main protagonist of this short, surreal film is a man obsessed with control. In an automated world drained of all emotion, he is tortured by vague longings.

The Phantom Carriage
Victor Sjöström, Sweden, 1921, 93 min
Soundtrack by KTL (Written & produced January-July MMVII)

‘The Phantom Carriage (Swedish: Körkarlen) is a 1921 Swedish romantic horror film, generally considered to be one of the central works in the history of Swedish cinema. Released on New Year’s Day, it was directed by and starred Victor Sjöström, alongside Hilda Borgström, Tore Svennberg and Astrid Holm. It is based on the novel Thy Soul Shall Bear Witness! (Körkarlen; 1912), by Nobel-prize winning Swedish author Selma Lagerlöf …

… The film is notable for its special effects, its advanced (for the time) narrative structure with flashbacks within flashbacks, and for having been a major influence on Ingmar Bergman.’ – WIKI

The Holy Mountain
Alejandro Jodorowsky, Mexico-USA, 1973, 114 min

‘The film is based on “Ascent of Mount Carmel” by St. John of the Cross and Mount Analogue by Rene Daumal, a student of G.I. Gurdjieff. In particular, much of Jodorowsky’s visually psychedelic story follows the metaphysical thrust of Mount Analogue such as the climb to the Alchemist, the assembly of individuals with specific skills, the discovery of the mountain that unites Heaven and Earth “that cannot not exist” and symbolic challenges along the mountain ascent. Daumal died before finishing his allegorical novel, and Jodorowsky’s improvised ending provides a clever way of completing the Work (symbolic and otherwise.)’ – WIKI
