Toronto International Stereoscopic 3D Conference Day 1 Friday Sept. 20, 2013 19:30 & 21:30 & 23:00 Chiral Eyes FILM DIRECTOR Willy LeMaitre COUNTRY Canada DURATION 4:53 YEAR OF PRODUCTION 2011 PRODUCTION COMPANY Independent Artist DESCRIPTION “Chiral Eyes is a stereo-3D video installation by Willy LeMaitre. The dramatic narrative depicts the dual nature and internal negotiations of a polarized individual. The subject appears on-screen as two opposing versions of the same person. The viewer’s left and right eyes see isolated portrayals of the individual. While wearing polarized glasses, both views are combined to produce the stereoscopic 3d image. Viewers of the work can read the narrative in variable ways by alternatively blinking or covering either of their eyes. Chirality refers to handedness in Greek and is a property in Stereochemistry of molecules having a non-super-imposable mirror image. The video looks at the notion of difference in terms of sidedness. The formation of depth perception, in human terms, as a concordance of left and right views is the literal and metaphorical focus of the 3D stereo-video short.” Toronto International Stereoscopic 3D Conference Day 1 Friday Sept. 20, 2013 19:30 NFB Retrospective Drux Flux FILM DIRECTOR Theodore Ushev DURATION 4:45 DESCRIPTION Part figurative, part abstract, Drux Flux is an animated short comprised of fast-flowing images showing modern people crushed by industry. Inspired by philosopher Herbert Marcuse’s One-Dimensional Man, the filmmaker deconstructs industrial scenes and their terrifying geometry to show the inhumanity of progress.
