Series 4

This experimental short documents the clash, sometimes obsessive, sometimes glorifying, between humans and their mechanized environment. Using photographs, the animator creates varying perspectives through optical manipulation and changing colour, achieving bold and provocative effects.

Directed by Normand Grégoire, Series 4 leans on a strong ensemble — Carole Laure, Jacques Thisdale, Lucile Vernet — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 1972.
