Reflexion

2010 1 min
Coming soon

Two prisoners are trapped in a void. Trying separately to escape, they discover each other and have to overcome their fear in order to connect and find a way out. Or do they really discover themselves? Filmmaker Greg Labute renders an austere nightmare world using the SANDDE's stereoscopic animation drawing tool and a dark, slightly perverse imagination. Produced as part of the 6th edition of the NFB’s Hothouse apprenticeship.

Who are the characters in this film? What are they trying to do? Where are they trying to go? When did this take place? Why are they where they are? What was their goal and did they succeed in reaching it – how, when, where, why, with whom? The five key journalistic questions – who, what, where, when why and the orphan, how? In groups, students can write a news story about the characters in the film.
