Dan Popa

The film poetically explores the universe of two eccentric Montreal taxi drivers. Film places the viewer in the back seat of the taxi as Louis and Jamel take us for a ride in their cab from Port au Prince to Algiers, from overseas to the island of Montreal, the protagonists passionately discuss life, love and death. Aesthetically the film uses panoramic image multiplications to complement the magical realism found in the storytelling.

While cameras from around the world are in Paris to broadcast or document the 2024 Summer Olympics, Dan Popa and Hoda Adra are combining their talents to capture this event in their own way. The two artists focus their attention on the fringes of the sporting events to provide a fresh perspective by looking primarily at the audience, behind-the-scenes activities, and parallel events. This short film offers a surprisingly poetic and political reflection, guided by a captivating narration that oscillates between an accumulation of precise information and a fascinating interpretation of this gathering and, more broadly, of our era. With a refined touch of humour and bite, this short film builds an allegory that is sociological, artistic, and critical, subtly exploring multiple reflections on the place of technology, the very idea of competition or the inequalities of this “world where the future turns” in the blind spot of this global gathering.

Filmed on four continents, Dan Popa's sensual and poetic film ponders human societies through the prism of the sea. Presented as a symphony and divided into "movements," SYMPHONY IN AQUAMARINE shows the sea and its swimmers, fishers, and ships as you've never seen them before.

Through a visual and narrative collage of personal testimonies, Island & Flight poetically explores the universe of contemporary travels by air.
