Best Short Film Prize, FIFA 2023
Pendulum is Haitian multidisciplinary artist Manuel Mathieu’s first film. It depicts the search for an equilibrium between the past and an uncertain future. A woman knowledge keeper carries on her shoulders her most precious legacy: the liberation of her soul. This legacy sets in motion a spiritual choreography in which a group of men master their own freedom as they confront the complexities of their humanity. In the midst of this perpetual exorcism, they assimilate their liberation under a shower of white comets. What will remain of their essence? A new day begins.

Production
Manuel Mathieu
Born in Haiti (1986) and based in Montréal since the age of 19, Manuel Mathieu is a multidisciplinary artist whose poetic and pictorial research investigates themes of historical violence, erasure, nature and spiritual legacy. Pendulum is the first public presentation of his film work. Like his paintings, sculptures and installations, this movie is part of a quest for phenomenological encounters that question the power relations that define us. The vibratory effect of his work offers alternative methods of apprehending the world. A graduate of Goldsmith’s College (London), he has been exhibiting for several years around the world.
