Devenir
Hélène Bélanger-Martin
Under the direction of Hélène Bélanger-Martin, a film crew took up residence in painter and sculptor André Desjardins’ studio from December 2010 to January 2011. The film immortalises the birth of a sculpture, from idea to final work.
Émotionnisme
Hélène Bélanger-Martin
Literally becoming one with his canvas, the painter André Desjardins embarks on the creation of a large format painting. It all starts with a powder of pigment projected randomly on the canvas. Then, drawing inspiration from the shapes and textures thus created, the artist gives birth to a human face that seems to want to emerge from the painting.
LIBRE
Hélène Bélanger-Martin
This intimate documentary follows sculptor André Desjardins’ creation of a monumental sculpture. The artist opens the doors of his studio, nestled deep in the forest. Alone, surrounded by silence, he sands, polishes, cuts, and reworks the materials of his craft. The sounds of nature merge with the humming of his tools. Slowly, we observe the birth of Free, an eight-foot-tall kneeling figure. The lengthy creative process is punctuated by moments when the artist shares his thoughts. He revisits memories of childhood loss and grief, solitude, and an insatiable need to create.
Nathalie Trépanier, sculpteure d’objets oubliés
Hélène Bélanger-Martin
Flea markets, scrapyards, the bottom of the river, the artist Nathalie Trépanier leads us, with her, in the search for abandoned objects that will be used to create her sculptures. This journey, as surprising as it is refreshing, culminates in the studio where, patiently, the artist assembles all these objects, thus giving birth to playful and endearing characters.
La peau et les os, après
Hélène Bélanger-Martin
Documentaire percutant sur les troubles alimentaires dont on comprend mal l’ampleur stupéfiante et les causes complexes. La peau et les os – après… propose une réflexion étoffée sur ce mal-être qui frappe plus que jamais. Le film met en vedette Annie, Isabelle, Marlène, Hélène et la jeune Charlotte, 17 ans, qui ont accepté de revivre ces périodes de détresse. Un « cancer de l’âme » qui tue plus que toute autre maladie mentale.
Récits plastiques
Sylvie Laliberté
When the double subjectivity strikes: that causes a tension between matter and form, sensitivity and intellect. It is the terrible threat of the formlessness that hovers. A visual artist’s view of life.
