Magia / France / 2010 / 6'35 / 16:9
A young boy molds objects with clay, which he subsequently manipulates, combines and associates in an obscure ritual. As the objects/representations he creates coalesce and develop a narrative, the rapid alternation of images on the screen imbricate and shape images/apparitions that only cinema’s “lanterna magica” and the magic of editing are able to produce.
