RECHERCHE THÉORIQUE 8 : COURT-MÉTRAGE ONF

Après plusieurs soirées de vision de projets créés par l’Office national du film du Canada (ONF), je suis venu à compiler ceux qui m’ont le plus intéressé et qui m’inspirent le plus à travers ma démarche pour la création du scénario de mon projet.

J’aurai ta peau

2017

Court métrage de 15 minutes

 Sombre allégorie sur la cupidité et sur la sanction spirituelle qu’elle engendre, J’aurai ta peau… se déroule à l’époque de la traite des fourrures. En 1823, le gouverneur de la plus importante entreprise de commerce des fourrures au monde parcourt son dominion pour en extraire les richesses toujours plus considérables que lui procure la fructueuse chasse hivernale. Car dans son implacable univers de profits et de pertes, on tue les animaux jusqu’à la limite de l’extinction. Mais un jour, l’équilibre du pouvoir bascule, et les forces de la nature imposent une fort coûteuse sanction. Saluant au passage Melville et Coleridge, les réalisateurs Carol Beecher et Kevin Kurytnik ont créé un saisissant mythe contemporain sur le prix de l’arrogance et de la cupidité.

 De ma part, ce que j’ai apprécié de ce court-métrage fût la magnifique utilisation de la fameuse règle du ‘’Show, don’t tell’’ dont le but est de démontrer les actions des personnages à travers leurs actions, leurs paroles, leurs pensées, leurs mouvements, leurs sens et leurs sentiments à la place de l’exposition fait par soit l’auteur ou le narrateur. J’aimerais utiliser cette technique pour mon projet.

Manifeste de sang

2015

Court métrage de 2 minutes

 Avec ce court métrage d’animation, le Canadien d’origine bulgare Theodore Ushev signe, à même son sang, un pamphlet politique virulent, brutal et dérangeant, qu’il narre lui-même d’une voix grave. Un peu partout sur la planète, le sang d’idéalistes révolutionnaires coule pour dénoncer des injustices. Le sang est pourtant le symbole même de la vie. À quoi bon se battre pour des idéaux, aussi nobles soient-ils, si au bout du compte il faut y laisser sa vie ? La rébellion et l’insurrection sont-elles des gestes égoïstes ou des leçons d’altruisme pur ? Ces questions complexes et cruciales alimentent les réflexions du cinéaste. Poétique et philosophique, son entreprise demeure lucide, mais fondamentalement désabusée et cynique. Le spectateur revient de cette danse des symboles ébranlé et discrètement transformé.

 De ma part, j’ai trouvé l’utilisation du sang comme médium et thème fascinant alors que les liens entre celui-ci et d’autres sujets sont créés si harmonieusement dont la vie avec la mort. J’ai aussi apprécié l’utilisation du stop-motion sur un plan statique, mais qui change constamment.

Deyzangeroo

2017

Court métrage de 4 minutes

 Rituel exécuté dans la ville portuaire iranienne de Buchehr, « Deyzangeroo » était influencé par la domination coloniale portugaise et britannique, ainsi que par la présence des esclaves africains. Imprégné de la terreur et de la magie qu’évoquait l’éclipse lunaire, il devait repousser les esprits maléfiques et faire réapparaître la Lune… et fonctionnait chaque fois. Ce court métrage d’animation réalisé par le cinéaste canadien d’origine iranienne Ehsan Gharib repose sur l’animation peinte à la main, la photographie à intervalle et la photographie truquée au moyen de miroirs, ainsi que sur l’envoûtante musique du compositeur et percussionniste virtuose Habib Meftah Boushehri.

 De ma part, je pense que l’utilisation de l’espace dans l’arrière-plan et les jeux d’illusions utilisés à travers les miroirs ont piqué mon intérêt dans ce court métrage. J’ai aussi apprécié l’ambiance produit par le jeu de lumière qui me rappelait un peu au Caravage.

Tête-mêle

2016

Court métrage d’une minute

 Partant du son trouvé d’un cours d’anglais, ce court métrage d’animation présente une descente visuelle dans la folie propulsée par l’effort de garder sa tête, même quand ça semble presque impossible. Ce film a été produit à l’occasion de la 11e édition du stage de formation Hothouse de l’ONF.

 De ma part, j’ai adoré le style d’animation utilisé dans ce court métrage. L’effet de folie, du bizarre et de l’incompréhensible m’inspire beaucoup pour mes idées de visualisation à intégrer dans mon projet.

Reverie.exe

2012

Court métrage d’une minute

 Dans ce court métrage d’animation, un ordinateur endormi rêve de formes humaines et transforme ses données numériques en formes abstraites et fantaisistes. Mouvements, émotions et musiques s’ajoutent couche après couche, jusqu’à ce que la complexité surcharge le système et mette fin au rêve. Réalisé au cours du stage de formation en animation Hothouse 8, Reverie.exe juxtapose la capture du mouvement qu’exécute Kinect de Microsoft à des images inspirées par la musique pour approfondir le lien entre l’humain et la machine.

 De ma part, je trouve que l’utilisation du capteur de mouvement pour créer le mouvement dans le court-métrage ingénieux alors que les possibilités de produire quelque chose d’unique atteint un grand sommet.

Le visiteur

2012

Court-métrage d’une minute

 Court métrage d’animation sur un petit garçon qui joue seul dans une grande maison vide. Un nuage sombre s’infiltre peu à peu par la boîte aux lettres de la porte d’entrée jusqu’à former un monstre. Le garçon s’enfuit, mais la créature le talonne. La poursuite ne cessera que lorsque l’enfant aura découvert la source de ses craintes. Ce film a été réalisé au cours du stage de formation en animation Hothouse 8. Il combine de l’animation en 2D dessinée à la main, des arrière-plans en 3D et des effets créés par des particules.

 De ma part, j’ai été captivé par l’utilisation de particule pour créer des formes et des personnages. J’ai aussi apprécié l’utilisation de plusieurs médiums à travers le court-métrage.

DEYZANGEROO (2017)

Es un cortometraje animado que forma parte del festival online Nation Film Board of Canada, dirigido por el cineasta iraní-canadiense Ehsan Gharib.

Representa un ritual homónimo, realizado en Irán, en la ciudad portuaria de Bushehr, con el fin de alejar a los espíritus malignos y venerar los eclipses lunares.

Atravesando varios estilos, Ehsan realiza un ensamblaje artístico en el cual se une la fotografía timelapse de la luna, con imágenes inquietantes, trasladándose luego a planos detalle de objetos que se funden con la animación pintada a mano. De esta forma el observador se adentra en lo que sería el ritual, junto a las actividades de la tribu y su relación con el fuego. Todo esto es complementado por espejos que instalan la idea de lo performático del acto, así como las visiones subjetivas de cada participante que llegan a transformarse en tramas caleidoscópicas.

La música la compuso Habib Meftah Bushehri, un percusionista del Golfo Pérsico, que a lo largo del cortometraje transporta al espectador a la vorágine del Deyzangeroo.

“Deyzangeroo” is a ritual performed in the Iranian port city of Bushehr. Influenced by the city’s colonial rule by the British and Portuguese, and the African slaves that followed, it is imbued with the terror and magic of the lunar eclipse. The ritual is believed to ward off evil spirits and take back the moon.

This Week on NFB.ca: Celebrating the Animated Short with Get Animated!

This week marked the beginning of our annual online animation festival, Get Animated! The 2018 edition has tons of great films in store for you, many of which are premiering online for this first time over the next two weeks.

Get Animated! is the time for us to celebrate animation, and more specifically, the animated short. What makes this year’s edition so special is the number of first-time filmmakers we’re featuring. From Ehrsan Gharib to Christopher Auchter to Echo Henoche, there’s been an explosion of animation talent recently, and we’re so excited to share these films. Enjoy!

Deyzangeroo

We are thrilled to kick off this year’s edition of Get Animated! with this award-winning animated short from Ehsan Gharib. Deyzangeroo is the name of an Iranian ritual performed in the port city of Bushehr, on the shores of the Persian Gulf. It’s believed to ward off evil spirits and take back the moon.

The film is meant to be the embodiment of the ritual itself. It uses a combination of hand-painted animation, time-lapse photography, and trick photography using mirrors.

The idea for Deyzangeroo came to Gharib over a decade ago, when he heard a piece of music by the same title. Entranced by the music and fascinated by the story behind it, he knew it was the source material for something special. Like several other films in this week’s line-up, this was a first filmmaking attempt for Gharib. His talent is exceptionally clear.

The Mountain of SGaana

This stunning animated short comes to us from first-time filmmaker Christopher Auchter. It’s one of those films that has everything – a strong female lead, lush animation, a timeless story and a contemporary feel. It’s beautiful, and the fact that it’s a first outing makes it truly spectacular.

Shaman

In her debut animated short, Echo Henoche brings to life her favourite legend, as told to her by her grandfather, Inuk artist Gilbert Hay. It’s the tale of a powerful shaman who works together with the community to turn a ferocious bear to stone after it threatens a mother and child.

Nadine

This four-minute animated short from Patrick Péris takes on the miracle of love at first sight… mixed with puberty. When young Sam sees a beautiful girl at the library, he knows he must approach her, he just doesn’t know how. Using a combination of live action and several forms of animation, he brings us along on that angst-ridden journey from first blush to first hello.

Threads

Torill Kove has hit another home run with her latest animated short, released in 2017. Using simple drawings and zero dialogue, Kove tells the complicated tale of the relationship that exists between parent and child. It explores the whole concept of holding on and the letting go. I dare you to watch it without crying.

Deyzangeroo: Ehsan Gharib Howls at the Moon

Filmmaker Ehsan Gharib has vivid memories of hearing the percussive beat of the Deyzangeroo ritual as a kid — a potent wave of sound and song that would emanate from the newly established refugee districts in his hometown of Arak in central Iran.

���Something big was happening in their neighbourhood, you could tell,” he says. “You could feel the bass of their drumming in the earth beneath your feet.”

Displaced by the Iran-Iraq War, thousands of refugees from southern Iran had found sanctuary in Arak, and among them were fishing people from the old port city of Bushehr — home to an unusual moon ritual known as Deyzangeroo. When confronted with the sudden terrifying darkness of a lunar eclipse, the fishermen of ancient Bushehr would appeal to the cosmos with defiant drum-fuelled chanting and dance, a life-affirming group performance intended to ward off evil and chaos — and restore the moon to its rightful place in the night sky.

oehttps://https://ift.tt/2Cxwv3p

 “The beauty is that it always worked, the moon always returned,” says Gharib with a grin. And decades later he is still feeling the beat, still falling under the spell…

With Deyzangeroo, an award-winning short now available online, he infuses the ancient ritual with surprising contemporary resonance, fashioning four minutes of exhilarating handcrafted animation that light up the screen with joyous awe.

“It’s about unity, about coming together to face the fear — and that feels completely current for me,” he says. “I like the idea that we can act together, that we can do something creative and beautiful in response to all those things that are bigger than ourselves.”

“The audience is not always in a super safe place — and I like that”

In telling a story that revolves so closely around the uniquely human capacity to make sounds that are musical yet also instinctive, Gharib allowed his creative process to slip free of overly constrictive intellectual constraints.

“At a certain point I realized that the more I planned, the less I liked the results, so I just started experimenting, discovering things along the way. In a way, I made this film with my body and I think that brings a kind of magic to the images. The audience is not always in a super safe place, and I like that. They have to discover as well.”

Working largely on his own, he created animation directly under camera, a process already akin to a leap in the dark, using unusual materials like oil paint and broken mirrors. The result is a story that floats within a vast galactic space, punctuated with striking percussive visuals — a quick painterly stroke evoking a handheld lamp or a cheesecloth effect suggesting a fishing net — that bring viewers back to earth with a sense of sharply etched sensory surprise.

Animation as exorcism

“It’s been fascinating to watch how audiences respond to the immediate sensory experience of the film,” says producer Maral Mohammadian, commenting on the tangible energy that fills the dark cinema after each screening. “They may not understand it intellectually, but they give in to it with their more primal senses, and that’s kind of the point. There’s an echo of the practices of those ancient mystics — the idea that we come to terms with the unknown by participating in collective ritual. So the film seems to work as a kind of cinematic exorcism, an outburst that casts out the demons.”

Gharib acknowledges the vital support he got throughout the production from Mohammadian, who also has Iranian roots. “We had a beautiful common understanding right from the start. I almost felt that Maral knew the film better than me, so I had full trust in her judgement. That trust helped me to keep exploring, to fly as high as I wanted.”

Collaborating with Habib Meftah Boushehri

Gharib’s key collaborator on the remarkable soundtrack was the Paris-based jazz musician Habib Meftah Bouchehri, pictured below, a virtuosic Bushehr-born percussionist with a deep knowledge of Persian traditional music. His 2005 album Deyzangero would provide Gharib with a deeper understanding of the ritual and inspire his own creative project.

Over the course of one intense week in 2016, Ehsan and his wife Homa Wahabi, who he credits as an essential early partner, worked alongside Bouchehri in his Paris apartment, recording multiple tracks of improvised chanting and percussion. Once they were back in Montreal, sound designer Olivier Calvert combined these recordings with Foley effects — the quiet lap of waves, the rub of wooden oars — to create a rousing and richly descriptive soundscape. “Even with your eyes closed,” says Ehsan, “I want the sound to take you somewhere.” Below: Sound designer Olivier Calvert at work with Foley artist Lise Wedlock.

A fresh perspective on Iran

Ehsan Gharib trained initially as a designer and photographer, going on to study filmmaking and cinema aesthetics at Tehran’s Soroush Film School, and animation at Montreal’s Concordia University. “I’ve been lucky to study animation with some of best teachers and artists in the field,” he says.

In making Deyzangeroo, a film that highlights a fascinating and little-known Iranian folk ritual, Gharib is aware of presenting international audiences with fresh perspectives on Iran, a country and culture that’s so often under- or misrepresented in mainstream western media.

“When it’s represented at all, Iran is usually depicted as either as an exotic object or as terrorism, and neither are accurate,” he says. “It’s easy to be enemies with something you don’t know, but where there is understanding, there can be friendship. Iranian culture has many gifts to offer, an interesting mix of modern and traditional, and I’d like to make it better known to the rest of the world.”

Deyzangeroo made its world premiere at the 2017 edition of Montreal’s Festival du nouveau cinema and has circulated at international festivals, winning the Golden Dove for Best Animated Short at Doc Leipzig. It was produced by Maral Mohammadian and executive produced by Michael Fukushima at the NFB Animation Studio. Deyzangeroo is Gharib’s first professional film.
