Félix Dufour-Laperrière (Archipelago, 2021) looked at his children and felt profound doubts and fears arise about our immediate future. Driven by this feeling, he made Death Does Not Exist, an urgent film in times of growing global inequality, social injustice, and rising authoritarianism.
Félix Dufour-Laperrière created the animated film Death Does Not Exist . This film tells the story of Helen. She is part of a group of friends that attacks a wealthy family. Helen hesitates, but joins in anyway. The situation escalates when the group encounters an elderly woman in a wheelchair.
During the confrontation, Hélène freezes, causing her friend Marc to die. She then flees into the forest. Her comrade Manon follows her. In the forest, the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur. This is reflected in colors and visions. Animals symbolize Hélène's inner struggle.
The film depicts her struggle with animated images. This alternation of静止 passages and hallucinatory full animation fascinates you. Death Does Not Exist confronts you with a dilemma: use violence or do nothing against runaway capitalism. Do you want to fight, or would you rather disappear? The film won the top prize at the Ottawa Animation Festival. Visit this festival and discover this intriguing film.
