RECHERCHE THĂORIQUE 8 : COURT-MĂTRAGE ONF
AprĂšs plusieurs soirĂ©es de vision de projets crĂ©Ă©s par lâOffice national du film du Canada (ONF), je suis venu Ă compiler ceux qui mâont le plus intĂ©ressĂ© et qui mâinspirent le plus Ă travers ma dĂ©marche pour la crĂ©ation du scĂ©nario de mon projet.
 https://www.onf.ca/film/jaurai_ta_peau/
 Carol Beecher et Kevin D.A. Kurytnik
Jâaurai ta peau
2017
Court métrage de 15 minutes
 Sombre allĂ©gorie sur la cupiditĂ© et sur la sanction spirituelle quâelle engendre, Jâaurai ta peau⊠se dĂ©roule Ă lâĂ©poque 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 considĂ©rables que lui procure la fructueuse chasse hivernale. Car dans son implacable univers de profits et de pertes, on tue les animaux jusquâĂ la limite de lâextinction. Mais un jour, lâĂ©quilibre du pouvoir bascule, et les forces de la nature imposent une fort coĂ»teuse sanction. Saluant au passage Melville et Coleridge, les rĂ©alisateurs Carol Beecher et Kevin Kurytnik ont crĂ©Ă© un saisissant mythe contemporain sur le prix de lâarrogance et de la cupiditĂ©.
 De ma part, ce que jâai apprĂ©ciĂ© de ce court-mĂ©trage fĂ»t la magnifique utilisation de la fameuse rĂšgle du ââShow, donât tellââ dont le but est de dĂ©montrer les actions des personnages Ă travers leurs actions, leurs paroles, leurs pensĂ©es, leurs mouvements, leurs sens et leurs sentiments Ă la place de lâexposition fait par soit lâauteur ou le narrateur. Jâaimerais utiliser cette technique pour mon projet.

 Theodore Ushev
Manifeste de sang
2015
Court métrage de 2 minutes
 Avec ce court mĂ©trage dâanimation, le Canadien dâorigine bulgare Theodore Ushev signe, Ă mĂȘme son sang, un pamphlet politique virulent, brutal et dĂ©rangeant, quâil narre lui-mĂȘme dâune voix grave. Un peu partout sur la planĂšte, le sang dâidĂ©alistes rĂ©volutionnaires coule pour dĂ©noncer des injustices. Le sang est pourtant le symbole mĂȘme de la vie. Ă quoi bon se battre pour des idĂ©aux, aussi nobles soient-ils, si au bout du compte il faut y laisser sa vieâ? La rĂ©bellion et lâinsurrection sont-elles des gestes Ă©goĂŻstes ou des leçons dâaltruisme purâ? Ces questions complexes et cruciales alimentent les rĂ©flexions du cinĂ©aste. PoĂ©tique et philosophique, son entreprise demeure lucide, mais fondamentalement dĂ©sabusĂ©e et cynique. Le spectateur revient de cette danse des symboles Ă©branlĂ© et discrĂštement transformĂ©.
 De ma part, jâai trouvĂ© lâutilisation du sang comme mĂ©dium et thĂšme fascinant alors que les liens entre celui-ci et dâautres sujets sont crĂ©Ă©s si harmonieusement dont la vie avec la mort. Jâai aussi apprĂ©ciĂ© lâutilisation du stop-motion sur un plan statique, mais qui change constamment.

Deyzangeroo
2017
Court métrage de 4 minutes
 Rituel exĂ©cutĂ© dans la ville portuaire iranienne de Buchehr, «âDeyzangerooâ» Ă©tait influencĂ© par la domination coloniale portugaise et britannique, ainsi que par la prĂ©sence des esclaves africains. ImprĂ©gnĂ© de la terreur et de la magie quâĂ©voquait lâĂ©clipse lunaire, il devait repousser les esprits malĂ©fiques et faire rĂ©apparaĂźtre la Lune⊠et fonctionnait chaque fois. Ce court mĂ©trage dâanimation rĂ©alisĂ© par le cinĂ©aste canadien dâorigine iranienne Ehsan Gharib repose sur lâanimation peinte Ă la main, la photographie Ă intervalle et la photographie truquĂ©e au moyen de miroirs, ainsi que sur lâenvoĂ»tante musique du compositeur et percussionniste virtuose Habib Meftah Boushehri.
 De ma part, je pense que lâutilisation de lâespace dans lâarriĂšre-plan et les jeux dâillusions utilisĂ©s Ă travers les miroirs ont piquĂ© mon intĂ©rĂȘt dans ce court mĂ©trage. Jâai aussi apprĂ©ciĂ© lâambiance produit par le jeu de lumiĂšre qui me rappelait un peu au Caravage.

Court mĂ©trage dâune minute
 Partant du son trouveÌ dâun cours dâanglais, ce court mĂ©trage dâanimation preÌsente une descente visuelle dans la folie propulsĂ©e par lâeffort de garder sa teÌte, meÌme quand ça semble presque impossible. Ce film a Ă©tĂ© produit Ă lâoccasion de la 11e eÌdition du stage de formation Hothouse de lâONF.
 De ma part, jâai adorĂ© le style dâanimation utilisĂ© dans ce court mĂ©trage. Lâeffet de folie, du bizarre et de lâincomprĂ©hensible mâinspire beaucoup pour mes idĂ©es de visualisation Ă intĂ©grer dans mon projet.

Reverie.exe
2012
Court mĂ©trage dâune minute
 Dans ce court mĂ©trage dâanimation, un ordinateur endormi rĂȘve de formes humaines et transforme ses donnĂ©es numĂ©riques en formes abstraites et fantaisistes. Mouvements, Ă©motions et musiques sâajoutent couche aprĂšs couche, jusquâĂ ce que la complexitĂ© surcharge le systĂšme et mette fin au rĂȘve. RĂ©alisĂ© au cours du stage de formation en animation Hothouse 8, Reverie.exe juxtapose la capture du mouvement quâexĂ©cute Kinect de Microsoft Ă des images inspirĂ©es par la musique pour approfondir le lien entre lâhumain et la machine.
 De ma part, je trouve que lâutilisation du capteur de mouvement pour crĂ©er le mouvement dans le court-mĂ©trage ingĂ©nieux alors que les possibilitĂ©s de produire quelque chose dâunique atteint un grand sommet.

DEYZANGEROO (2017)
Es un cortometraje animado que forma parte del festival online Nation Film Board of Canada, dirigido por el cineasta iranĂ-canadiense Ehsan Gharib.
Representa un ritual homĂłnimo, realizado en IrĂĄn, en la ciudad portuaria de Bushehr, con el fin de alejar a los espĂritus malignos y venerar los eclipses lunares.
Atravesando varios estilos, Ehsan realiza un ensamblaje artĂstico en el cual se une la fotografĂa timelapse de la luna, con imĂĄgenes inquietantes, trasladĂĄndose luego a planos detalle de objetos que se funden con la animaciĂłn pintada a mano. De esta forma el observador se adentra en lo que serĂa el ritual, junto a las actividades de la tribu y su relaciĂłn con el fuego. Todo esto es complementado por espejos que instalan la idea de lo performĂĄtico del acto, asĂ como las visiones subjetivas de cada participante que llegan a transformarse en tramas caleidoscĂłpicas.
La mĂșsica la compuso Habib Meftah Bushehri, un percusionista del Golfo PĂ©rsico, que a lo largo del cortometraje transporta al espectador a la vorĂĄgine del Deyzangeroo.

âDeyzangerooâ is a ritual performed in the Iranian port city of Bushehr. Influenced by the cityâs 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 yearâs edition so special is the number of first-time filmmakers weâre featuring. From Ehrsan Gharib to Christopher Auchter to Echo Henoche, thereâs been an explosion of animation talent recently, and weâre so excited to share these films. Enjoy!
Deyzangeroo
We are thrilled to kick off this yearâs 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. Itâs 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 weekâs 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. Itâs one of those films that has everything â a strong female lead, lush animation, a timeless story and a contemporary feel. Itâs beautiful, and the fact that itâs 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. Itâs 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 PĂ©ris 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 doesnât 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 â a potent wave of sound and song that would emanate from the newly established refugee districts in his hometown of Arak in central Iran.
âSomething big was happening in their neighbourhood, you could tell,â he says. âYou could feel the bass of their drumming in the earth beneath your feet.â
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 â 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 â and restore the moon to its rightful place in the night sky.
oehttps://https://ift.tt/2Cxwv3p
 âThe beauty is that it always worked, the moon always returned,â says Gharib with a grin. And decades later he is still feeling the beat, still falling under the spellâŠ
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.
âItâs about unity, about coming together to face the fear â and that feels completely current for me,â he says. âI 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.â
âThe audience is not always in a super safe place â and I like thatâ
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.
âAt 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.â
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 â a quick painterly stroke evoking a handheld lamp or a cheesecloth effect suggesting a fishing net â that bring viewers back to earth with a sense of sharply etched sensory surprise.
Animation as exorcism
âItâs been fascinating to watch how audiences respond to the immediate sensory experience of the film,â says producer Maral Mohammadian, commenting on the tangible energy that fills the dark cinema after each screening. âThey may not understand it intellectually, but they give in to it with their more primal senses, and thatâs kind of the point. Thereâs an echo of the practices of those ancient mystics â 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.â
Gharib acknowledges the vital support he got throughout the production from Mohammadian, who also has Iranian roots. âWe 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.â
Collaborating with Habib Meftah Boushehri
Gharibâs 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 â the quiet lap of waves, the rub of wooden oars â to create a rousing and richly descriptive soundscape. âEven with your eyes closed,â says Ehsan, âI want the sound to take you somewhere.â 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 Tehranâs Soroush Film School, and animation at Montrealâs Concordia University. âIâve been lucky to study animation with some of best teachers and artists in the field,â 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 thatâs so often under- or misrepresented in mainstream western media.
âWhen itâs represented at all, Iran is usually depicted as either as an exotic object or as terrorism, and neither are accurate,â he says. âItâs easy to be enemies with something you donât 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 Iâd like to make it better known to the rest of the world.â
Deyzangeroo made its world premiere at the 2017 edition of Montrealâs 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 Gharibâs first professional film.
