Claude Chabot: Apnee

Claude Chabot’s “Apnée” is a deceptively simple film that uses cleverly conceived 3D scenes to tell a story in a refreshingly innovative way. Each scene is meticulously constructed in order to be unpacked by the viewer, whose deliciously fun job it is to construct a narrative around the clues provided.

The moral: Mommas don’t let your babies grow up to be paparazzi.

Apparently, “Apnée” screened at the recent Platform International Animation Festival, but it didn’t net any awards. Seems like a travesty. I hope Mr. Chabot gets the laurels he deserves soon.

Bug ups to our very own Babe Elliott Baker for spotting this one and bringing it to our attention.
