We Are Winning, Don't Forget: Short works by Jean-Gabriel Périot
http://www.atasite.org/2013/04/we-are-winning-dont-forget-short-works-by-jean-gabriel-periot/
Filmmaker Jean-Gabriel Périot in person.
Over the past fifteen years award-winning filmmaker Jean-Gabriel Périot has perfected an innovative style focused on reinterpreting archival materials. Moving images and photographs make up the raw material of his short films, which are then edited to create an impressionistic story or narrative. His compelling choice of soundtracks adds provocative depth and tone. Periot's work is distinguished for its intense, emotional approach to contemporary and historic political themes.
Despite the labor intensive process of compiling a film via multiple edited images, Périot has made numerous shorts using digital video and/or film that reside within combined documentary/essay, animation, and experimental genres. His works have been honored with many awards and shown worldwide in numerous festivals, institutions, and cinemas.
Périot's first U.S. tour begins in New York, at the Museum of Modern Art.
The program contains 9 short films and runs 83 min total:
