Vis-á-Vis

(1982 • 12 minutes)
Music by Jacques Dorier

An autobiographical fantasy, depicting the duality of an individual torn by conflicting desires. A reflection of the reconciliation between work and the creative imagination.

“A film of much love and joy, about loving and integrating disparate parts of ourselves. I had never seen this particular conflict so creatively portrayed before, and it touched me deeply.”

— Jenny Ogier, Equal Times
