Mars et Avril - Opening Sequence (TED2013)
Voiced by Robert Lepage, the opening of the film "Mars et Avril" is based on German astronomer Johannes Kepler's cosmological model from the 17th century, Harmonices Mundi, in which the harmony of the universe is determined by the motion of celestial bodies. Oscar-nominated Benoit Charest ("The Triplets of Belleville") also composed the score according to this theory. This clip was shown prior to writer-director-producer Martin Villeneuve's TED Talk on February 27th, 2013 in Long Beach, California.
"Oh, what a wonderful, rich, glorious treat of a film 'Mars et Avril' is. A sci-fi steam-punk romance with a terrific score, it is a delight to the senses. Visually stunning, melodramatic in its storytelling, and unafraid to delve into deep philosophical musings." - Shelagh M. Rowan-Legg, TwitchFilm
