This industrial choreography reflects director Georges Gachot’s fascination for machines busy at work producing tin cans. With their sounds and rhythms, their breathing and automated movements, these machines become musicians and dancers for one show, all caught on tape in this short film. The soundtrack, which is entirely composed of workshop sounds, is interpreted by machines, as dancers of iron and bolts follow a majestic, mechanical choreography. The man behind these iron monsters holds a fragile place in this powerful, metallic world of music and aesthetics. A rhythmic union between image and sound.
