Here and the Great Elsewhere (Trailer)

This abstract yet compelling philosophical tale uses the Alexeïeff-Parker pinscreen as a metaphor for the particles that make up the universe. Through 4 tableaux that explore her character’s thoughts, filmmaker Michèle Lemieux takes a mischievous look at the profound reflections of this everyman, whose questions are part of humanity’s eternal quest for meaning. This short is the NFB's first animated film made using the pinscreen since filmmaker Jacques Drouin's retirement.
