| Synopsis of the film |
An animated film in friable matter made to the music of Johann Sebastian Bach.
The design of the film has been inspired by the magnificent interiors of Gothic cathedrals (Reims, Chartres). The film was made following the principle of watching a Gothic Cathedral: first, the author shows the facade, then he ?walks in and presents the lower parts of the edifice emerging from the shade. Afterwards, the camera focuses on the columns and pillars, niches with reliefs, up to the marvellous vault. Bright light getting inside from up high makes the real shapes of the interior disappears as a result of the effect of glimmering air. The last scene is pale white ? the symbol of ever ? lasting spiritual values. |
