ESPRITS ANIMAUX

True to the minimalistic concept, symbol-laden film asking a number of questions: how little do our contemporary problems differ from philosophical thoughts? How short is the distance between the attitudes of the contemporary man and those of the man from a few hundred years ago? How does a man confronted with an extreme situation seek the right attitude, the attitude that gives him the chance to choose an optimal way of being and acting?

Ernest Wencel »

Ernest Wencel, a middle-aged father of two teenagers, who unexpectedly turned his life around after over a dozen years in business, deciding to follow his real dreams and passion instead. When asked about his identity, he responds that labels tend to stigmatize: “when I am making money in my company, I am a businessman; when I am taking pictures, I am a photographer; when I am painting, I am a painter. All these different shades of his personality serve as sources of inspiration in the movie-making process. He is now presenting his next movie “Esprits Animaux”, which is definitely more mature and which provokes the thinking on our approach and attitudes towards life and our dear ones.
