Élise Simard

A tiny baroque ode to fleeting darkness and pretty make-believes.

In this autobiographical animated short, Elise Simard crafts the story of a young girl seeking self-discovery and rebirth. Drifting between real and imagined events, the film uses time-lapse photography with ink and pastels, creating a haunting, compassionate exploration of addiction and existence.

Boy and his rabbit embark upon a voyage into the night. On a music by Debussy, La Traversée is inspired by the anguishes that sometimes occurs at night, and that vanishes once morning comes.

As much about light, color, texture and sound as it is about “story,” “Beautiful Like Elsewhere” evokes a mysterious dreamscape of shimmering tableaux that seem to exist just on the edge of consciousness. Populated by human and nonhuman organisms, classical images and pure form, this allusive world, which may be a vision of the afterlife, hints at a deeper level of awareness and meanings beyond words.
