IMAGINE - FULL FILM

    A Film by Simon Charrière

    Synopsis:

    English: Imagine is a creative project that links reality and animated illustration. Three friends find themselves projected into a cartoonist's dream. Somewhere in the Swiss Alps, they find themselves enjoying powdery snow and melting cheese. Their adventures follow one another and are brought to life by hand-animated graphics. From the confines of imaginary space to the valleys of the Val d'Anniviers, the adventure that comes out of a pen and paper will try to transport you as far as possible.

    Français: Imagine est un projet créatif qui lie le réel et l'illustration animée. Trois amis se retrouvent projetés dans le rêve d'un dessinateur. Quelque part dans un écrin des alpes suisses, ils se retrouvent à déguster de la neige poudreuse et du fromage fondant. Leurs péripéties s'enchaînent et s'animent par des graphismes animés à la main. Des confins de l'espace imaginaire aux combes du Val d'Anniviers, l'aventure sortie d'une plume et d'une feuille de papier tentera de vous transporter aussi loin que possible.
