Gloria VictoriaFILM DIRECTORCOUNTRYDURATIONYEAR OF PRODUCTIONPRODUCTION COMPANYDESCRIPTION

Theodore UshevCanada6:552013National Film Board of Canada (NFB)The final film in Theodore Ushev’s NFB trilogy on the relationship between art and power, Gloria Victoria unfolds on the still-smouldering rubble of a furious 20th century. From the Russian front to the Chinese Revolution, from Dresden to Guernica, Gloria Victoria combines elements of surrealism and cubism to orchestrate an explosive nightmare in the name of peace. Winner of the FIPRESCI Award at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, Gloria Victoria is set to music from Shostakovich’s Leningrad Symphony, and joins Ushev’s previous works Drux Flux and Tower Bawher as an animated dialogue between music and images.

Philippe BaylaucqCanada15:352011National Film Board of Canada (NFB)“Ora is an experimental 3D dance film filmed thermographically, capturing for the first timesterescopic images of the dancers using only the heat of their bodiest and no external sources of lighting. The film is inspired by Darwin’s theory of evolution and the myths of Narcissus and Prometheus. The film was directed by Philippe Baylaucq and was choreographed by José Navas.”

19:30



Chiral EyesFILM DIRECTORCOUNTRYDURATIONYEAR OF PRODUCTIONPRODUCTION COMPANYDESCRIPTION

Willy LeMaitreCanada4:532011Independent Artist“Chiral Eyes is a stereo-3D video installation by Willy LeMaitre. The dramatic narrative depicts the dual nature and internal negotiations of a polarized individual. The subject appears on-screen as two opposing versions of the same person. The viewer’s left and right eyes see isolated portrayals of the individual. While wearing polarized glasses, both views are combined to produce the stereoscopic 3d image. Viewers of the work can read the narrative in variable ways by alternatively blinking or covering either of their eyes. Chirality refers to handedness in Greek and is a property in Stereochemistry of molecules having a non-super-imposable mirror image. The video looks at the notion of difference in terms of sidedness. The formation of depth perception, in human terms, as a concordance of left and right views is the literal and metaphorical focus of the 3D stereo-video short.”

19:30


Drux FluxFILM DIRECTORDURATIONDESCRIPTION

Theodore Ushev4:45Part figurative, part abstract, Drux Flux is an animated short comprised of fast-flowing images showing modern people crushed by industry. Inspired by philosopher Herbert Marcuse’s One-Dimensional Man, the filmmaker deconstructs industrial scenes and their terrifying geometry to show the inhumanity of progress.

Tower BawherFILM DIRECTORDURATIONDESCRIPTION

Theodore Ushev3:45This animated short by Theodore Ushev is like a whirlwind tour of Russian constructivist art and is filled with visual references to artists of the era, including Vertov, Stenberg, Rodchenko, Lissitsky and Popova.


19:30

Facing ChamplainFILM DIRECTORDURATIONDESCRIPTION

ONFB22:41Artist Mélissa Hébert - fictional descendant of the first colonist in New France - is commissioned to paint a portrait of Samuel de Champlain, explorer and founder of Quebec City. In her studio overlooking Quebec’s magnificent Old City, the artist tries to grasp the essence of the man. Suddenly, division between worlds, senses and dimensions melt away and the artist passes through a tear in the canvas into the third dimension - and into the visionary explorer’s expansive world.

NFB Retrospective

Hothouse 6 + Behind the ScenesFILM DIRECTORDURATIONDESCRIPTION

ONFB9:00In the Spring of 2010, under the mentorship of Ann Marie Flemming, six emerging film directors (Kiarra, Albina, Fred Casia, Zane Kozak, Greg Labute, Megan Turnbull & Marie Valade) explored stereoscopic 3-dimensional film space as an essential story device and expressive tool. Ranging from stop motion to digital drawing to CGI and SANDDE animation, each of the short films in HOTHOUSE 6 NFB apprenticeship project takes a unique approach to 3D storytelling, in a very short format (1 min).

Moon ManFILM DIRECTORDURATIONDESCRIPTION

Paul Morstad3:33Moon Man is an animated short inspired by the song “Moon Man Newfie,” composed and sung by Canadian music legend Stompin’ Tom Connors. It tells the story of folk hero Codfish Dan, who made Newfoundland history after a lucky fishing trip on the Milky Way.
