Abstract animation after McLaren
Rhythms, textures, lines and stains are the protagonists of these nine contemporary abstract animated films. Playful or flamboyant, mysterious or disturbing, they clearly stand out in the landscape of current animation. Beyond conventions and fashions, the filmmakers of Matières vives approach animation in the spirit of the visual arts, working with matter to free it from the illusion of reality. These artists also have in common the fact that they have made films for which they have established a privileged and singular relationship with music. Sound variety goes hand in hand with visual variety, and if there is one cliché that Matières vives shatters, it is the one that all abstract films resemble.
