Bazin's Film

Pierre Hébert / Canada / 2017 / Czech Premiere / 70 min.


synopsis

Film theorist André Bazin yearned to shoot a film about the churches of the French province of Saintonge. Several decades later, Pierre Hébert presents a reconstruction of Bazin’s dream in an animated documentary film that is also a philosophical meditation on the relationship between architecture and cinema.
