Until the Light Takes Us
Aaron Aites & Audrey Ewell, USA, 2009, 93 min

 

In 1991, Norwegian churches started to burn down, just after an underground circle of metal musicians had formed. The film reveals the true story behind the music, murders, and church burnings, and shows what happened to these young men, who tried to change the world using music, art, and violence. Ultimately, they lost control of what they had created.

Syrinx (1965) par RYAN LARKIN

 

Syrinx
Ryan Larkin, Canada, 1965, 3 min
Musique de Claude Debussy

 

Nymphe d’Arcadie, Syrinx se jeta dans le Ladon pour échapper à Pan qui la poursuivait. Elle fut aussitôt changée en roseaux avec lesquels le dieu aux cornes et aux pieds de chèvre fabriqua la flûte champêtre à sept tuyaux appelée syrinx ou flûte de Pan. Il se mit ensuite à jouer de façon si harmonieuse que toute la terre fît silence pour l’écouter.
