Overview

Smaragdin was selected at the Annecy Festival in 1960 and constitutes an astonishing contribution to the history of experimental animation cinema in Quebec and Canada. Carried by a text by Lucile Durand (Louky Bersianik), narrated by a young Marcel Sabourin, this totally independent film, based on mixed techniques including salt animation, was forgotten for sixty years.

Directed by Jean Letarte
