Stone Makers

2016 · 5 min

A quiet, hypnotic five minutes watching heavy machines move like dancers, turning ordinary labour into something strangely beautiful.

Directed by
Jean-Marc E. Roy
Tagline
The heavy machines become the accomplices of the camera of Jean-Marc E. Roy, who films them like a contemporary dance troupe in the midst of collective creation.
Overview
In this short documentary, an ordinary working day in the heart of a granite quarry surreptitiously turns into a spectacular industrial symphony.
