Smaragdin

1960 15mMovie

Animation

Smaragdin was selected at the Annecy Festival in 1960 and constitutes an astonishing contribution to the history of experimental animation cinema in Quebec and Canada. Carried by a text by Lucile Durand (Louky Bersianik), narrated by a young Marcel Sabourin, this totally independent film, based on mixed techniques including salt animation, was forgotten for sixty years.
