To her, he is like a magician, making fabulous shapes and colours appear, transforming an ordinary Laurentian village into a scene ablaze with colour. With great singleness of purpose, Sam Borenstein painted for over 40 years. Twenty years after the artist's death, animation filmmaker Joyce Borenstein shows that she has inherited her father's talent in this documentary on his life and work. She uses many innovative animation techniques to combine archival material, filmed sequences, paintings, and reminiscences of friends and family, bringing Sam Borenstein's work to life. <30mn>Language:EnglishNotes:Technique:ANIMATIONDetailed holdings information: -
