Chateau/Poyet
The scene is set in front of a French chateau. The camera chases improbable incidents across the screen. Many are constructed out of one of Jordan's favorite engravings illustrators: Poyet. Duels occur on a tight rope. Heavier-than- air machines fly (and sometimes crash). Below guns spear exploding spheres. The timing of the animation is exquisite, existing in an atmosphere balanced between frenzy and delight.

Là où poussent les coquelicots
Seeing the Great War, no longer content with simply recounting it, but showing it and embodying it: this is what comics offer today. By questioning archives and history, the comic book authors featured in this film engage in a dialogue with the depths of time. They bring the First World War back to life in our imagination: their drawings are more than just lines.

In the Shallows
Walking down the street or sitting on a commuter train, few of us can resist the siren song of that small, illuminated device in our pockets. Through a carefully choreographed collision of hand-made sculptural collages and ink and paint animation, In the Shallows, by first-time NFB filmmaker Arash Akhgari, takes us on a deep dive into the shallow and fragmented world of news, entertainment and ads, where we can easily drown in the dangerous allure of mass media intoxication.
