Robes of War

Une femme porte la guerre en elle. Dans sa tête les soldats avancent, piétinant tout sur leur passage. Telle une pietà, elle pleure son fils, son frère. De sa douleur et du sang de l'homme mort au combat surgit une armée de femmes, puissante colonne drapée dans la foi et la révolte. La soif de justice devient soif de vengeance. Le corps de la femme est une arme, sa robe une armure. Celle qui jadis donnait la vie donnera la mort. Film sans paroles.

In keeping with their Sunday tradition, after mass a family flocks to grandma and grandpa's house, where the chaotic discussion soon begins to resemble a raucous gathering of crows on power lines. The local factory has shut its doors and, naturally, the adults can't stop fretting about their money woes. On this particular grey Sunday, a young boy drops a coin on some nearby train tracks out of sheer boredom. Picking the coin up after a train has run over it, he discovers to his astonishment that an amazing transformation has taken place... Sunday, Patrick Doyon's first film, is a magical tale that imparts important lessons about life as seen through the eyes of a child.

Partly figurative, partly abstract, Drux Flux is an animation film of fast-flowing images showing modern people crushed by industry. Inspired by One-Dimensional Man by the philosopher Herbert Marcuse, the filmmaker deconstructs industrial scenes and their terrifying geometry to show the inhumanity of progress. A film without words.
