Dizzy Cavalry
Cavalerie étourdie / Patrick Doyon / Canada / 2025 / 1′
An 8mm reel of a Hollywood western comes flickering to life again. At the first trumpet blast, the cavalry charges as the fragile film struggles to keep up. It ripples, vibrates and tangles, caught in the chaos of gunfire and the roar of galloping hooves .
