Begone Bell Care; Begone Dull Care

鐘声色彩幻想

A short animated film created in 2014 as part of the Digital Spring project, produced by the NFB and the Quartier des Spectacles Partnership. It incorporates an extract from Norman McLaren's 1949 film "Begone Dull Care," a pioneering work of abstract animation set to jazz music. The film celebrates the birth of McLaren, a Canadian animator known for his experimental techniques, with a festive Christmas music score.

Yoji Yamamura, the director, reimagines McLaren's visual language through modern digital tools, blending colorful shapes, rhythmic patterns, and fluid motion. The animation evokes the playful spirit of the original while adding a contemporary touch. As the music plays, abstract forms dance across the screen, creating a vibrant and hypnotic experience that honors McLaren's legacy without telling a traditional story.
