Black Cabinet

black-cabinet

Country of Origin: USA
Year of Production: 2007
Duration: 5’00“
Category: Animation

Directing and Animation: Christine Rebet
Screenplay: Christine Rebet
Cinematographer: Larry Quartararo
Editor: Jennifer Basnyat
Music: George Philip
Producer: Kamel Mennour

Synopsis: The Black Cabinet is inspired by the techniques of “Spirit Painting” performed at the end of XIX century. Introduced by mediums during the heydays of spiritualism, these works, usually painted in oil, were portraits of deceased from a distant past. However, unlike the “Spirit Paintings” process, the apparition in The Black Cabinet is a prediction of what is to come, a vision of the 1920s.
