December 2025 Feature
A Conversation in Rhythm
Julianna Oke, Kevin Kim, Seth Kitamura
A CONVERSATION IN RHYTHM is an experimental movement film which centers around a tap dancer and a drummer in a jam session. The exchanges made between these artists in an improvised jam parallels qualities to a verbal conversation; the introduction, questioning, challenging, balancing, and most importantly, the trusting of one another. The film aims to display their unspoken dialogue as what it is, a conversation. Using traditional dialogue coverage, A CONVERSATION IN RHYTHM will accentuate the varying intensity of the artists’ movements and rhythm on film to express a scene of communication.

Série Regard sur le monde
Philippe Meunier
Sur une période de dix jours, le vidéaste sprintait la conception d’une quinzaine de mini films qui servaient à présenter la signature unique des ensembles folkloriques lors du Gala de fermeture du Mondial des Cultures de Drummondville. Un objectif simple : donner accès, en l’espace de quelques dizaines de secondes, à l’essence d’une culture par la puissance d’un groupe. Regard sur le monde propose une approche du folklore international dans une esthétique contemporaine dans laquelle les racines traditionnelles sont la force créatrice, des racines aux regards multiples, qui parlent au présent.
La série proposée dans la Collection Regards Hybrides regroupe treize films commissariés par le réalisateur. Une œuvre rythmée qui invite au voyage et à la découverte.

English:
Over a ten-day period, the videographer sprinted to create fifteen short films that showcased the unique signature of folk ensembles at the closing gala of the Drummondville World Cultures Festival. The objective was simple: to offer access, in just a few dozen seconds, to the essence of a culture through the power of a group. "A Look at the World" presents an approach to international folklore with a contemporary aesthetic, where traditional roots are the creative force—roots with multiple perspectives that speak to the present.
The series, presented in the Hybrid Perspectives Collection, comprises thirteen films curated by the director. A dynamic work that invites the viewer on a journey of discovery.
