Boris Labbé found the inspiration for his animated film by reading Dante’s “Divine Comedy” from the early 14th century, which describes a journey through various otherworldly kingdoms, as well as in “The Fall of the Rebel Angels“, a painting by Pieter Bruegel the Elder from 1562.
La Chute (The Fall) conveys the feeling of a world that is more of an imaginary creation based on art, myths, and the history of humankind. The artist employs traditional techniques and combines them with computer-aided processing.
The animated sequences consist of ink and watercolor drawings on paper, whereby approximately 4,000 original images were needed to produce the whole film.
