Dinosauria, We

Maxime-Claude L'Écuyer / Canada / 2023 / International Premiere / 5 min.


synopsis

An edited visual accompaniment to an original recitation of Charles Bukowski's poem Dinosaurs, We from his late collection The Last Night of the Earth (1991), composed of dozens of documentary, news and fiction shots, along with Carl Bastien's unsettling music, underscores the timeliness of the poet's apocalyptic vision.

“We are born into this sorrowful deadliness.”
