The Canadian filmmaker and artist Vincent Grenier shows new and older works. The two programs will be presented by Ute Aurand and James Edmonds (Light Movement). "From the beginning he has devoted himself to the essential questions of the cinema in his work, especially those of light and projected shadows, the contours of a given space, duration. The strategies that he uses are always simple: Time is at the heart of all his films, he always carries out a ritual, his camera observes movement, the tiniest shift, very precisely. Since his very first films, Grenier focuses his interest on the simple gestures of the everyday. To dissolve the abstraction, to draw one's attention on the minute details which when filmed, become very poetic and reveal the individual behind the mechanical and the routine" (Nicole Gingras) With the kind support of the Embassy of Canada.
