Restoring the Apu Trilogy would take a “painstaking process including lab work, digital wizardry and world-spanning detective work, resulting in one of cinema’s greatest resurrection stories. That’s where the Criterion Collection came in.”

While it is usually seen as a fixed art form, calligraphy is very much about mastering space, movement and speed. As filmmakers, it seemed only natural to use video as a way to reveal the beauty of strokes and colors appearing on paper. Michel D'anastasio’s work is equally abstract, lyrical and modern, and it is the inspiration behind this art film.

Art figé par essence, la calligraphie repose pourtant sur la maîtrise du mouvement, la gestion de l'espace et la vitesse d'exécution. En tant que réalisateurs, le mariage avec l'image filmée nous a semblé évident pour apprivoiser le geste de l'artiste et restituer la poésie des traits et des couleurs se révélant sur le papier. La calligraphie de Michel D'anastasio, à la fois abstraite, lyrique et contemporaine, nous a inspiré cette collaboration sous forme de vidéo artistique.
