I have been invited by the Cinémathèque québécoise to create a new work for their Archives in the Hand of Filmmakers program presented at the FIAF congress.

The Sorrow of the Lynx takes a look at the Siberian ecosystem and effects of climate change like massive forest fires in the region. Stefan Németh made an amazing soundtrack for the film.

World premiere on Monday at 8.30 at the Cinématheque québécois.

The Cinémathèque québécoise commissioned six artists (from both the experimental and animated film scenes) to create a short film using unselected Soviet films from a donation by collector François Lemai. Recomposing images, manipulating shots to remind us of their plastic value, producing a discourse that resonates with the approach of the artists invited… We invite you to discover the world premiere of these singular and powerful approaches.

Thanks for the invitation Guillaume Lafleur!

Can’t wait to see what Ralitsa Doncheva, Charles-André Coderre, Theodore Ushev and Steven Woloshen have created from the material.
