Short film
Sirènes
1961 · 7 min
A hushed, dreamlike drift through surreal seaside imagery, more like watching music than following a story.
- Directed by
- Emile Degelin
- Overview
- Degelin takes a step further here and delivers a musical tale that could qualify as 'filmed music' or 'a musical picture'. Taking its inspiration from James Joyce's Ulysses the film creates a dream- and desert-like seaside world of shipwreck and long-haired mermaids. These seven minutes of pure experimentation were awarded the silver bear at Berlin Festival in 1961.
