Handsome Devil. Daniel Barrow. 2024. Distribution – Video Pool Media Arts Centre

Over the last twenty years, Daniel Barrow has used obsolete technologies to present pictorial narratives by merging the methods and cultural histories of cinema, comic books, animation, shadow puppetry and magic lantern shows. Barrow is best known for creating and adapting comic book narratives to “manual” forms of animation by projecting, layering and manipulating drawings on an overhead projector in live performance contexts at The Walker Art Center (Minneapolis) The Museum of Contemporary Art (Los Angeles), The International Film Festival Rotterdam, The Portland Institute for Contemporary Art’s TBA festival, and the British Film Institute. Barrow is the winner of the 2010 Sobey Art Award – Canada’s largest prize for visual artists – and the 2013 Glenfiddich Artist-In-Residence Prize.

Nelly Paquentin – A 2018 graduate of L’École de danse de Québec, Nelly works in the local arts scene as a performer and creator. Recently, she has had the opportunity to collaborate as a performer with Sarah Dell’Ava, le Fils d’Adrien danse, Danse K par K, and Les Incomplètes. She also enjoys exploring the spectrum of collective creation with versatile artists from diverse disciplines. Nelly collaborates with Quebec City’s theater, music, and performance communities as an assistant director, choreographer, outside eye, and movement consultant.

David Ricard – David B. Ricard works in Quebec City as an independent director and video designer for the performing arts. His work deals with intimacy and questions the cinematic medium as well as the representation of the self through personal archives. His first feature-length documentary, Surfing on Grace (2016) follows his connection to his younger brother, a champion skateboard slalom racer. In Living Vocalities (2018), he documents the journey of translating a Quebec poem across the Canadian Francophone landscape. David Against Goliath (2022) is his third feature-length documentary.

Elizabeth Crispo – Elizabeth is an emerging artist who primarily uses dance as a medium to navigate through projects and travels. Fundamental questions, the adventure into the unknown, intuition, discomfort, and a sense of community weave together her personal and artistic approach.

She has performed for Marie-Chantale Béland, Zia Lab Créatif, the collective Le CRue, Danse K par K (Osez!), Le Fils d’Adrien Danse, Théâtre Astronaute/Astronaut Theatre, and Julia-Maude Cloutier.

Since 2020, she has been working on the dialogue between cinematic language and dance, and since 2021, she has led an interdisciplinary collective with filmmaker Elias Djemil. She is involved with various organizations that form the dance ecology in Quebec and develops international connections by participating in different projects and workshops in Europe and South America. She aims to contribute to professional and cultural exchanges in Quebec.
