The Anniversary

In this animated short, friendly characters are busy preparing for a party. While a cook takes care of the final preparations, they see themselves parachuted into an unusual setting. At first disoriented by the strangeness of the place, the characters quickly overcome their apprehension to set off to discover the various objects that inhabit them. This wordless film was produced on the occasion of the NFB's 50th anniversary and was created using 3D animation software.

Living Colours

Charcoal drawings depict the bleak world of the worker. Pastel drawings illustrate his dreams. Oftentimes, they are dreams created by the media. Are they tailored to his real needs? Or his pocketbook? This film comments indirectly on the impact of publicity and its power to develop appetites that cannot be satisfied.

Chairmen

This short animated film presents an allegorical portrait of a society where men have lost their autonomy in the struggle to be recognized by the very society that restricts their freedom.
