L’affût / The Lookout
In his new personal project, Mathieu Labaye continues the exploration begun with Orgesticulanismus and Le Labyrinthe. L’affût also explores movement—specifically the movement of time—through the relationship between the infinitely large and the infinitely small, between the grand narrative of history and the stories of individuals.
Currently in development, L’affût was one of nine short film projects selected for the CEE Animation Forum 2024 in the Czech Republic.
