NEXT FLOOR REMIX _ Montreal _ CANADA

[ouananiche]

////poor english translation////

Ouananiche is ravenous for films, cooking them up and recomposing them into musical video collages. When PHI Group suggested he remix Next Floor, a masterpiece of short filmmaking, it was like opening the door of his pantry. Denis Villeneuve’s 11-minute film, which cleaned up at festivals and won numerous awards worldwide (best short-film Cannes 2008), became the raw material for Ouananiche to chop up, mix and season into a feast for hungry eyes and famished ears. The audiovisual mash-up artist serves up yet another delicious snack.
It's the first time that Ouananiche can legally remix a movie. The amazing sequences from Next Floor are distended or accelerated, the sinister and fascinating ambiance finds a new rythm, dark and mesmerizing. No matter if you've seen the original short film or not, Ouananiche gives here a real new version : double lenght, different construction, for a different purpose.

Thursday, October 21st, 10pm at Festival du Nouveau Cinéma, and it's FREE. Don't miss it, it will only lenght 20 minutes. It's there : Agora des Sciences and NEXT FLOOR REMIX will be followed by Istvan Kantor.

You can see the trailer on the website.
