Michael Snow (1928-2022)

Michael Snow was an experimental filmmaker fascinated by disappearance in infinite detail, by disorientation in the infinitely large. He pushed back the limits of cinema without formalizing it too much, as much concerned with forms (as an accomplished visual artist) as with sounds (he was an experimental musician with a sweet spot for free jazz). The Cinémathèque québécoise has preserved some of his key film, such as La région centrale, which we are about to show you.
