Loop Loop

Canada 2008, 5 min, Digital
Director/Screenwriter/Cinematographer/Editor/Producer: Patrick Bergeron    
Loop Loop is the first short film by Patrick Bergeron, who was responsible for the special effects in films such as The Matrix. A train journey to Hanoi provided him with the visual basic material, selected details from which offer impressive insights into the on-site reality. The montage of multiple horizontal stripes on the other hand comes together to form an almost abstract picture.
