N/A
In Paris’s Goutte d’Or district, Malick skates all day long. Confronted by his daily life, he dreams of escaping to America. His father once told him the story of Abu Bakr II, the African king who discovered America. This king who crossed the Atlantic will change his perception of life.
A tribute to Norman McLaren’s 1949 film of the same name, my animation depicts the arrival of a dot, appearing out of nowhere and creating small disasters on some nameless planet. Gaseous phenomena, explosions and photonic dust move about in ethereal space. A mix of drawings, video, film and scientific archive footage.
Digital cartoon. Colored dots like rotating planets. The projection is accompanied by Louis and Bebe Barron’s Robby, Make Me A Gown.
