Black & White

“‘Black & White/Noir et Blanc’ is an eight-minute experimental film poem. The first half is the play of white light on grey background, and coupled with the soundtrack built of amplified bursts of white noise, it is designed to put the spectator into a more receptive mood for the second half – a naked black man dancing, captured sensitively by Raphael’s variable-speed camera. The editing was done right in the Bolex and the rhythm works; it speeds up and slows down just at the right times to create a continuous flow of movement and energy.” – A. Ibranyi-Kiss, Cinema Canada
