The human presence is evoked by a profile intent on exploring inner consciousness, rendered as a brilliant sphere. We are witnessing a fiery voyage of initiation to the very confines of the universe. '1974' is a mystical experience, a shimmering odyssey into the mysteries of perception. Up to 24 strata of different materials from oil paint to pencil drawings, filmed under the animation camera, contribute to the visual richness of the film, while progressive rock composed by Robert M. Lepage adds a harmonious counterpoint to its incantatory quality. Film without words. // Dans un atelier d'artiste, une constellation d'étoiles dessinée au mur se métamorphose en un tumulte de formes organiques. Toutes se déploient dans un étincelant tourbillon lumineux. L'être humain apparaît et entrevoit sa propre conscience, une sphère éclatante. Nous sommes alors les témoins d'un voyage initiatique aux confins de l'univers. Ode à l'expérience mystique, "1974" est une chatoyante odyssée à la découverte des mystères de la perception. De la peinture à l'huile à la mine de plomb, jusqu'à vingt-quatre strates de matériaux différents ont été filmés contribuant à la richesse visuelle de ce film. D'inspiration rock progressif, la trame sonore ajoute un harmonieux contrepoint à l'incantation filmique à laquelle nous convie Paula MacDougall. Film sans paroles. See less
