Synopsis

Pen Point Percussion

A documentary showing Norman McLaren working on the hand-drawn sound process he uses for his short film, Loops.

Silent Panorama

In this animated miniature a drawing gradually comes to life before our eyes, telling a story not only of a wild boar on the run, but also of the ways in which people occupy the places that used to belong to nature. Artist-animator Nicolas Piret has an incredible eye for detail and uses only a single sheet of paper to tell this story. With this impressively meticulous approach, he deploys a playful form of storytelling.
