Places and Monuments-1
Depuis maintenant plusieurs années, le cinéaste d’animation Pierre Hébert travaille à une série de films de différents formats, sous le titre générique de Lieux et monuments. Travaillés parfois comme des carnets de voyages, mais aussi comme autant de films essais géopolitiques, cette série ambitieuse est unique dans le parcours au long cours de Pierre Hébert. Nous allons présenter la série complète en quatre séances successives, en débutant par la projection en primeur du plus récent volet, Le mont Fuji vu d’un train en marche.
La projection sera suivie d'une discussion avec le réalisateur
...
A poetic and animated meditation based on the impressions experienced by Pierre Hébert during his two trips in Japan, in 2003 and in 2018. Images and sounds, but also captures of his performances, most notably one with the dancer-choreographer Teita Iwabushi. In a certain way, the film tries to answer a fictional question : what is to be seen of Japan when Mount Fuji is invisible, lost in the clouds? Evocation of a paradoxal invisibility.
Pierre Hébert
Director of more than forty films, including three features, Pierre Hébert worked at the National Film Board of Canada from 1965 to 1999. Since then, his filmmaking work has taken a multidisciplinary scope (live animation performances with musicians, video installations, collaboration with choreographers, drawing, and actions on the web). In additions to his three feature films, La plante humaine (1996), Bazin’s film (2017) et Mount Fuji seen from a moving train (2021), he wrote several books and articles about cinéma. He received the Albert Tessier Award for his lifetime achievement in 2005, a Cinema Career Grant of the Art Council of Quebec in 2012, and an honorary doctorate by the Emily Carr University of Art and Design of Vancouver in 2018. In 2024, he also received the René Jodoin Award for an exceptionnal contribution to canadian animation, given by the Sommets du cinéma d’animation.
