Beginnings

About This Movie

Beginnings is a fascinating piece of animation, created through the delicate pastel drawings of Clorinda Warny. It’s not your typical animated film; it feels more like an art piece, flowing through the cycles of life. The visual journey is tied closely to the seasons, moving from the vibrancy of birth to the complexities of adulthood. The landscapes transform into human forms, which adds a unique layer of depth to the film. The posthumous completion by Suzanne Gervais and Lina Gagnon gives it a haunting atmosphere, almost as if the creators were in conversation with one another across time. The pacing is contemplative, allowing viewers to really absorb the themes of growth and change, which makes it stand apart from more commercial offerings.
