Different as night and day
Peter Dudar / Canada / 2012 / European Premiere / 16 min.
synopsis
A portrait of a Toronto power plant in the genre of dynamic images. The patient poetics of the ordinary puts together three points of view of two buildings at various times of day, evening, and night. The motionless images seem to merge in slow dissolves.
The filmmaker was inspired by Claude Monet’s Rouen Cathedral series – a view of the cathedral’s front under different lighting conditions. The way in which the smoke from the chimneys covers the images when we segue from one to another is based on J. M. W. Turner’s paintings of sunsets.
