Glimpses/Impressions

This film depicts 24 hours in the life of an imagined city – a composite that draws on all Canadian cities. This imaginary day unfolds through the course of four seasons and reveals the nature of places and the people that make them so vibrant.

The images in the film slowly come together with deft, impressionistic touches. Adopting the rhythm of someone strolling through the city, they intermingle and reply to each other – evoking a different story for each viewer.

      “" Originally used as music to inspire the creative team, Mario Leblanc's "Androgyne" was ultimately chosen for the soundtrack to the film Glimpses. Normand Roger and his collaborators (Pierre Yves Drapeau and Yves Chartrand), who designed the film's sound, then adapted Leblanc's piece." Actually there're two musicians named "Mario Leblanc", and "Fayo" is not the original composer of "Androgyne". Normand Roger has renewed the original "Androgyne" for this movie, but I'm afraid the new "Androgyne" is not yet open for sharing. Anyone has any access to the music?”

      “@Rachel86 It *might* be available for purchase at some point, but for now it's playing at the expo in Shanghai. We don't have download rights for any of our films at the moment.”

      “Hi Betty! We looked around and all we could establish is that the background music is an original composition by Mario Leblanc, an Acadian singer-songwriter also known as Fayo. ”
