Leonardo da Vinci – The Universal Man

François Bertrand / France / 2019 / 5 min / animation / French

On the occasion of the 500th anniversary of his death, this film proposes a joint reading of Leonardo’s art and his technical and scientific research. The engineer and scientist cannot be fully understood without taking into account that he was above all an artist with an incredible sense of observation and drawing. Visit a dream museum housing Leonardo’s incredible creations and immerse yourself in the story of one of the most brilliant minds in history.

Saturnism

Mihai Grecu / France / 2020 / 4 min / horror / no dialogue

Saturn devouring his child remains without doubt Goya’s most emblematic work. It is also one of the darkest paintings in the history of art, painted by the artist on the walls of his home. It comes to life here, in this magnificent immersive reinterpretation of the myth of Cronos.

Gauguin’s inner journey

Hayoun Kwon / France / 2018 / 5 min / animation / French 

In this immersive journey into the heart of Paul Gauguin’s imagination, we are plunged into a spellbinding ballet of colours. Among other major works, Joyeusetés (Arearea) and La femme à la fleur (Vahine no te tiare), take shape as if in a dream. Using testimonies left by the artist, we accompany Gauguin on his first trip to Tahiti. The director explores the possibilities offered by new technologies to play with the confusion between real memories and dreamed actions, between faithful testimony and fantasized interpretation, she questions what is transmitted, what makes a trace or sinks into oblivion.

Diego Velazquez’s Meninas

Carlos Franklin / France / 2017 / 6 min / animation / French

Diego Velázquez stares at us from behind his easel. His gaze invites us. We go to the other side of this mirror painting and enter the heart of the work to share with the painter the dizziness and enigmatic echoes that he never ceases to play with. Between illusion and reality, Velázquez seizes our senses and endlessly questions our reason.

The Wedding at Cana by Paul Veronese

Joséphine Derobe and Carlos Franklin / France / 2018 / 8 min / animation / French

Paul Veronese takes us to the sumptuous scene of the Wedding at Cana. He tells us the biblical story of Christ’s first miracle and takes us into a festive and unbridled Venetian setting.

The Temptation of Saint Anthony by Jerome Bosch

Carlos Franklin / France / 2016 / 7 min / animation / French

The film explores the creative madness of Hieronymus Bosch, transforming his triptych into an animated virtual space that gives us a totally new experience of diving into one of the major works of this undeniable genius of the Middle Ages.
