| Inhalt: |
Jean PainIeve was a fiIm director, critic, theorist, and animator, yet his interests and studies aIso extended to mathematics, medicine, and zoology. Amazingly, all these disparate strands came together in a groundbreaking, decades-spanning artistic career. Operating under the credo "Science is fiction," Painleve forged his own unique cinematic path, creating countless short films for both the viewing pubIic and the scientific community. Moreover, he was also one of the first fiImmakers to take his camera underwater. Surreal, otherworldIy documents of marine life, these fiIms transformed sea horses, octopi, and mollusks into deIicate dancers in their own fIoating baIlets. This anthoIogy features twenty-three of PainIeve's shorts in their original form, as weIl as Yo La Tengo's ninety-minute originaI score The Sounds of Science, written in 2001 to accompany eight of the director's fiIms.
