Trailer
This film will be presented during the event La Nuit du court on March 16, 2024 at Concordia University.
Created with artificial intelligence algorithms refined by human choices, this animated short film takes us on a Toulouse-Lautrec’s imaginary journey to the heart of 19th-century Paris. Drawing inspiration from the artistic biography Lautrec, mon ami by François Gauzi, a close friend of the painter, the film explores the kaleidoscopic forms of entertainment of that era and reconstructs the world of Toulouse-Lautrec’s cabarets.
