Gilles Brien’s Words in Space
Guy Laliberté left the earth’s atmosphere at 3:00 a.m. in the morning. We’ve said it here before, Woolf + Lapin’s Gilles Brien has written the scientific text that Guy Laliberté will be reciting in space for his Poetic Social Mission whose crux is to heighten awareness about water.
Bit of name dropping those who’ll be participating in the social misson: Salma Hayek, Bono, Julie Payette, Yann Martel, Al Gore, David Suzuki…
Yannik Larivée at the American Ballet Theater
Woolf + Lapin’s Yannik Larivée just finished design work on a mixed programme that will open the American Ballet Theater’s fall season. He designed the costumes for Canadian choreographer Aszure Barton’s new show. On October 7th, her company will premiere the new ballet at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. The work is inspired by a Violin Sonata composed by Maurice Ravel.
Tête blanche de Patrick Boivin au Festival du nouveau cinéma
Mon pays c’est l’apocalypse ! Trop hot ce film sur la survie post-apocalyptique.
C’est un aperçu de Tête blanche/White, le tout nouveau court de Patrick Boivin, de chez Woolf + Lapin, qui aura sa première mondiale au Festival du nouveau cinéma le 9 octobre prochain. Le programme de la soirée comprend trois films présentés dans le programme Short Cuts Canada du Festival international du film de Toronto. En plus de plusieurs autres courts, dont Danse macabre de Piedro Pires, d’après un concept de Robert Lepage. La soirée marquera aussi les dix ans de Prends ça court !
Coeur de Pirate Nominated
It’s the video clip for “Ensemble” directed by Jérémie Saindon. Coeur de Pirate is getting a lot of air play in France right now and so is the video. It’s based on the doppelganger principle. It’s nominated for best video clip of the year at L’ADISQ.
Also, Jérémie’s We Are Wolves clip “Coconut Night” is in competition at Namur. It’s probably Jérémie at his experimental best with some pyro work and wicked after effects! It’s also in an art show at 107 Shaw in Toronto where the gallery is presenting works from other filmmakers. “The point is to present music videos as an artistic product and a unique medium of filmmaking.”
