JEU
Backhttp://www.nfb.ca/webextension/jeu/en/ A Film by Georges Schwizgebel THE TWISTS AND TURNS OF MODERN LIFE From the countdown at the start to the stock-still "END" that wraps up the film, Jeu is a dizzying whirlwind that never ceases to amaze. Georges Schwizgebel has created a frantic race ending in inertia, a metaphor for modern life's nonstop hustle and bustle. A series of shapes tricks the senses again and again as they swirl and twist in a playful dance. All the world is a stage and everyone a player, including the filmmaker himself, in this chaotic universe where men play ball and musicians play the scherzo from Prokofiev's Second Piano Concerto. Jeu is an exercise in virtuality at breakneck speed. This circular and cyclical race dazzles with changes in scale orchestrated by a virtuoso of animation. * Silver Dove Award given by the International Jury for Animated Film (International Leipzig Festival for Documentary and Animated Filmd, Germany) Other Prizes : http://www.nfb.ca/webextension/jeu/en/prizes.php
