Selection

Glide

Screening: Professional Competition 9
Canada 2023
Duration: 07:53
Directed: Jason Zumpano
Screenplay: Jason Zumpano
Production: Jason Zumpano

A meditation on the radically different means of creation available to us, Jason Zumpano’s latest short “Glide” is an invitation to the mythopoetic and the various materials, from the painterly to the digital, that bring it into existence. Against Matisse-like colour palettes and impressionistic-resolutions, the central figure of “Glide” is a woman floating on a lantern-helmed rowboat. We float through various angles and perspectives as she’s drawn languidly towards a collective future. The screen blends between settings that emerge from sky to ocean and from canvas to characters coming together in a watery dreamscape that enacts a mysterious ritual. The soundtrack voices the oceanic and star-lit setting. Think Vangelis in an Aeolian reverie of golden hues. Think, ponder and glide. * official selection Millennium Film Workshop, Brooklyn 2024 * official selection Athens Animfest - 3rd Prize Experimental Competition 2024 * official selection Les Sommets du cinema d'animation, Montreal 2024 * official selection The West Virginia Mountaineer Short Film Festival 2024
