Charles-André Coderre, Charles-André Coerre
“Ya Garat Al Wadi” is a popular piece of Egyptian music composed by the legendary Mohammad Abdel Wahab and written by the poet Ahmad Shawqi in 1928. More than 90 years later, this film documents an orchestra of 15 musicians, formed by the initiative of Radwan Ghazi Moumneh (of Jerusalem In My Heart), over the period of five days in Beirut to once again reinterpret this great classic of Arab music.

Granular Film - Beirut
Charles-André Coderre
The capital of Lebanon burns through photo-chemical manipulation, specifically variations on Mordançage and Chromaflex film processing techniques. Still, the images from one of the oldest cities in the world remain recognizable... The footage is almost entirely edited in camera. The sound design includes field recordings, modular synthesizers, and Buzuk samples by Bob Lachapelle.

45
Charles-André Coderre
Originally shot frame by frame and edited in a Super-8 camera, 45 is a psychedelic ode to the Montreal bus line 45, a bus ride from the South of the town all the way to the North. The film soundtrack is composed with the optical sound of 16mm film archives found in a Montreal garbage container.
