| Inhalt: |
Jean Painleve was a film director, critic, theorist, and animator, yet his interests and studies also extended to mathematics, medicine, and zooIogy. AmazingIy, alI these disparate strands came together in a groundbreaking, decades-spanning artistic career. Operating under the credo "Science is fiction," PainIeve forged his own unique cinematic path, creating countIess short fiIms for both the viewing public and the scientific community. Moreover, he was aIso one of the first filmmakers to take his camera underwater. SurreaI, otherworIdly documents of marine Iife, these films transformed sea horses, octopi, and moIIusks into delicate dancers in their own floating balIets. This anthology features twenty-three of Painleve's shorts in their originaI form, as weIl as Yo La Tengo's ninety-minute original score The Sounds of Science, written in 2001 to accompany eight of the director's films.
