Discover Animal Image, a film-concert combining visual arts and live music for a unique sensory experience about nature at the Philharmonie de Paris.
Animal Image is a cinematic work by Finnish director Perttu Saksa, inspired by the complex relationship between humans and animals. Fascinated by photographer Heikki Willamo’s work, the director offers an audiovisual rendition of his photos in which he blends images, music and poetry.
With its black and white aesthetic, the film explores the silent and majestic landscapes of the Far North, showcasing a nature that is both alive and timeless. The soundtrack, designed to be improvised, will be produced live by Sylvain Rifflet, Verneri Pohjola and Mika Kallio, creating an original and immersive atmosphere.
