Womb is a film in motion, an immersive cinematographic object. Designed and conceived for 3D technology the film deploys an immersive strategy. Three characters emerge from a womb to discover the volume of the world. Always moving forward, abstract analogy of the unfolding of life, they progress through a long sequence shot from one stage to the next. The luminous set created by Sylvie Fleury and the spatialised composition of Franz Treichler (leader of the internationaly acclaimed rock band The Young Gods) combine with the complex textures of Jean-Paul Lespagnard’s costumes and Gilles Jobin’s choreography to create an unusual dialogue in space. Performers and stage sets, stereoscopy and choreography, visual arts and music combine in an enhanced stereoscopic experience for the viewer.
