Lodella 1996 / 26' Director: Philippe Baylaucq Choreographer: Jose Navas Music by: Eric Longsworth Photography: Jean Pierre Lachapelle, Philippe Baylaucq Editing: Roch La Salle Performers: Chi Long, Jose Navas Production: National film board of Canada Canada One of the most popular and acclaimed dance films, Lodella is a poem about the opposites that make up the cosmos, yin and yang. Light and shadow, male and female, birth and death, calm and storm are some of the archetypal pairs of opposites that make up Lodella. Images of extraordinary filmic beauty spring out of a simple yet imaginative set of a light circle thanks to its treatment by the director. Everything in this film is simple but used in such a sophisticated way that the visual result is astounding. Even though it was produced six years ago, the film employs digital image processing techniques with surprising accuracy. [ back to the list ]
