Synopsis

A person walking put into perspective. The points of view oblige one to make reversals of perspective, losing the viewer in a geometry brushed with large strokes.

Georges Schwizgebel

Born 1944 in Reconvilier, Switzerland, Georges Schwizgebel is among the greatest names of contemporary animation. This well-rounded author of 15 short films has seen his work awarded in Cannes, Annecy, Zagreb, Hiroshima, Stuttgart, Ottawa and Espinho. Two of his films – 78 R.P.M. (1985) and The Ride to the Abyss (1992) – rank among the hundred most influential animated films on a list published by the Annecy Festival in 2006. (…) Though he first used rotoscoping (Perspectives, 1975; Off-side, 1977), Schwizgebel later traded this tool in for a freer approach marked by the gestural application of colour and frequent use of geometric shapes. (Marcel Jean)
