Dive 2013

Dive is an urban fairy tale about a self-destructive man who can't feel anything. From the moment he sets eyes on a mysterious young woman, something inside him stirs.

When her true identity is revealed, his destructive nature reaches its peak as he contemplates a drastic escape from his melancholy.

CODA 2014

This short animation draws on advanced digital technologies to offer a new vision of dance in cinema. With motion capture (MoCap) and particle processing, designers Denis Poulin and Martine Époque create virtual dancers free of their morphological appearance. In this balletic and hypnotic film, dynamic traces carry the motion of the real dancers behind the on-screen movements. Addressing environmental themes by way of metaphor, CODA is a fused universe where space and time collide, deploy, and dissolve. In this technically and formally innovative film, luminous bodies in the infinite space of the cosmos transform and evolve to the rhythms of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring.

Ni scène ni coulisses 1978

Three dancers, alternately disembodied or discernible, move through abstract motions. Sometimes they move against backgrounds, sometimes they incorporate them. Electro-acoustical music further heightens the other-worldly atmosphere of this experimental dance film. Special effects, animation and live shooting combine to create a complex of unusual images. Film without words.
