"Of course it is understood that in speaking of movement we do not speak of the flight of seagulls any more than than in speaking of painting we speak of sunset." Len Lye and Laura Riding - 1935

last entry: 01/11/08

Hier après midi, j'ai participé à une rencontre pour la préparation d'un atelier sur le thème animation et documentaire qui se tiendra le 14 novembre dans le cadre des Rencontres internationalles du documentaire de Montréal (RIDM). Il y avait là André Paquet du RIDM, Marcel Jean qui animera l'atelier, Lucie Lambert, Serge Giguère, Martine Chartrand et moi-même. La rencontre a été amicale et fort intéressante. Les discussions que nous avons eus m'ont beaucoup aidé à terminer un texte sur lequel je peinais depuis longtemps pour présenter le projet d'atelier (5 jours celui-là) que je vais donner à l'Atelier Graphoui à la fin du mois de janvier prochain. On ne me demandait pas grand chose, mais je me compliquais la vie et je m'étais embarqué dans quelque chose de trop ambitieux pour les circonstances. Bref le texte est terminé et envoyé.
