Details: Jacques Drouin’s unique and poetic body of work is inextricably linked to a legendary animation instrument, the Alexeïeff-Parker pinscreen. This box set brings together all the films Drouin made at the National Film Board of Canada, including his now classic Mindscape (1976), his very moving Nightangel (1986) and his daringly innovative Imprints (2004). Bonus features include rare footage by Drouin – four student films, two trailers and several animated sequences with commentary by the filmmaker – as well as a 42-minute documentary made specially for the box set, Jacques Drouin in Relief, which offers new insights into an outstanding artist, the perpetuator of a singular animation tradition. Complementing the films is a booklet containing essays by animation experts (Marco de Blois, Pascal Vimenet), Drouin’s notes on the restoration of the Alexeïeff-Parker pinscreen, and invaluable archival documents, such as correspondence between Norman McLaren and Alexander Alexeïeff. Jacques Drouin: Complete Pinscreen Works invites you to discover a world-class animator and his incredible “dream machine.”
