Dimensions

Bernard Longpré

Paul Buissonneau, Louise Latraverse

This short film for kids offers a lesson in proportions in which simple actions achieve surprising results. A man wants a door in a wall. He draws a rectangle and, presto! There is an opening. In the same way, he conjures up furniture. If too high or too low, the raising or lowering of a finger puts everything right.

Monsieur Pointu

André Leduc, Bernard Longpré

Paul Cormier

Monsieur Pointu would like to play his fiddle. But the fiddle has other ideas.

Tête en fleurs

Bernard Longpré

Line drawings, flowing freely across the screen, suggest a head-in-the-clouds feeling as Claude Gauthier recalls a lost but sweet love of other days. Part of the Contemporary Songs of French Canada series.

Dimension soleils

Bernard Longpré, Raymond Brousseau

There is no need to be a mathematician to appreciate this film which puts in images a part of Fernand Lemay's theory. For this Quebec scientist, it is the segment and not the point that is non-dimensional. From this new approach result dimensions and situations in infinite number that this film reconstitutes into an extraordinary spectacle. At once an artistic work and a mathematical test, Dimension Soleil provides proof that, once again, the beautiful is not foreign to the essential structures of being.
