DANSE MACABRE

—

For a period of time, while we believe it to be perfectly still, lifeless flesh responds, stirs and contorts in a final macabre ballet. Are these spasms merely erratic motions or do they echo the chaotic twists and turns of a past life?

Biography

—
Pedro Pires has most notably worked with François Girard on the films The Red Violin , as well as The Sound of the Carceri for which he won an Emmy® and Gemini Awards for «Outstanding Visual Effects» and «Best Visual Effects». He also worked in close collaboration with Robert Lepage on the visual conception of Possible Worlds.  Danse Macabre, Pedro Pires' first short film was created in 2008 in collaboration with AnneBruce Falconer and Robert Lepage.  The film has won next to 40 international prizes, notably a Jutra and a Genie Award in 2010, as well as Best Canadian Short at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2009.
