Brouillard #1

A colour reversal film shot on 35mm.

Alexandre Larose creates supernally spectral superimpositions infused with a meteorological mix and the intense lusciousness of the Québec landscape.

Someone dreams of falling from a building.

Luminous traces obtained through in-camera optical manipulation of nocturnal imagery.

Found memories decayed by the shock patterns of childhood trauma. This films is made mostly with footage found in the bin of an ophanage. The white progressivelly disolve within a darknest more and more dense. Faces progressivelly disolves within one another.

Third part of a series, in which the figure in the frame is Larose’s father, Jacques Larose. It was shot in Super-8mm and 16mm—later enlarged to 35mm—and alternates between colour and black and white.

Short film by Alexandre Larose

"In this film, I wanted to explore the potential of in-camera editing by photographing and juxtaposing the window frame and its outside landscape as visual references. I executed three attempts (using three rolls of 16mm film) and aligned them one after the other. I wanted to show the raw material exactly as captured inside the camera." ⁠— Alexandre Larose

This is a study from the "scènes de menage" series, starring Jacques Larose and Marie Claude Ferland, the filmmaker’s parents. We see domestic activities that take on a new dimension thanks to the way Larose deals with successive layers. The repetitive, automatic movements that are repeated in places such as the kitchen and the hallway, the succession of actions of getting into the car and leaving the house, are all captured by the camera in multiple overlays, which on being slightly out of sync give rise to a split, multidimensional reality.

Video I made for a song from the first album. The song is called " In The Midst Of The Twilight - Evening". Film sequences and stop motions by Alexandre Larose, filmed in Iceland and New York City.

“With this project I fabricate sequences by in-camera layering of repeated trajectories inside a path extending from my family’s home into Lac Saint-Charles. The image-capturing process produces a sedimented landscape that gradually unfolds while simultaneously disintegrating under temporal displacement. Approximately 30 long takes begin at the same frame on the film strip, all shot at a high frame rate. My walking rhythm varies for each trajectory, resulting in the space progressively expanding in depth until I reach the edge of a dock. The duration of the long take corresponds to the length of the celluloid reel, a thousand feet of 35mm film.”—Alexandre Larose
