Dans un océan d'images

Directed by Helen Doyle
Canada, 2013 (documentary, 90 minutes, colour, English / French / Italian)
Also known as "Dans un océan d'images, j'ai vu le tumulte du monde", "Frameworks: Images of a Changing World"

Film Description:
"Last year, Bernard Émond made waves when he published an article titled 'Il y a trop d'images.' We can't really deny it. TV, film, the Internet, smartphones... images are indeed taking over our private and public spaces. Bombarded by these forms and movements, in a split-second reality growing more and more suffocating, can we still determine what images mean? Do they have any timelessness or value? These are some of the provocative, and intensely topical, questions that Helen Doyle [...] has decided to ask. Driven by her passion for photography, she takes us on a quest for the meaning of images today, and introduces us to outstanding photographers and artists whose works force us to look deeper at the world and at ourselves."
