Les nouveaux alchimistes
Screening with filmmaker Dominic Gagnon in attendance
A team of astronauts is launched into space during the pandemic. As the planet takes a pause, its inhabitants share their experiences of COVID-19 and the consequences it might have on their mental health. Following the filmmaker’s usual modus operandi, Space Down is made up entirely of images and sounds gleaned off the Internet. With an astonishing economy of means, Dominic Gagnon dialogues with the imaginary world of science fiction while questioning the place of humans in the universe. Dark, anxiety-inducing, playful and hypnotic, this sensory experience stands out as a series of flashes and editing bursts on extreme solitude, the thirst for contact and the human condition.
