Description
This animated comedy unfolds to Marlene Dietrich's rendition of Falling in Love Again. It is a playful take on popular myths and clichés about love, and a send-up of the glorious vertigo of falling in love.
When two cars travelling in opposite directions careen around sharp curves, screeching on two wheels, the meeting of their occupants promises to be explosive. The collision propels them into outer space - much to the surprise of a couple of Canada geese.
Just as Marlene Dietrich defined an era with the song Falling in Love Again, filmmaker Munro Ferguson is helping to define a new art form halfway between drawing and sculpture. He uses a revolutionary device that allows him to animate 3-D images with a wand in space.
Falling in Love Again is the National Film Board of Canada's first animated film using the innovative IMAX® Sandde! System (Stereoscopic Animation Drawing Device). Ideally, the film should be viewed in stereoscopic theatres with special glasses, but the NFB has created a regular version in 35 mm and video formats.
Two SANDDE! Workstations were donated to the NFB by the IMAX Corporation for animation experimentation. The system is the brain-child of Roman Kroitor.
