Goethe-Institut Montreal, Montreal
- Price Free of charge.
June 26 to August 10, 2025 | from sunset to 2 a.m.
In collaboration with the Festival International de Jazz de Montreal, we are presenting two musical video works by the animation artist Irina Rubina on our windows:
Animated Music Video, 2022
Regie & Design: Irina Rubina
Animation: Michelle Brand, Veronica Solomon, Anita Gill, Luca Tóth, Irina Rubina
Clean-up, coloring & in-betweens: Iris Maier
Compositing: Toby Auberg, Irina Rubina
Produced by Sony Music Entertainment & iraru.films
Inspired by original drawings by Miles Davis, director Irina Rubina creates a semi-abstract nightwalking fantasy to a previously unreleased piece by Miles Davis from 1982-1985 - his interpretation of Tina Turner's WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT.
Animated Short Film, 2015
Director & Animation: Irina Rubina
Production: Irina Rubina, Ghaith Al-Adwan
Assistant director: Christiane Goppert
Music: Emanuel Hauptmann / Blofish
Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg
Dots, lines, surfaces and shapes set themselves in motion and sink into a choreographic world of their own. In the intoxication of touch, they engage with jazz sounds in a play of colors and shapes that ends with an absolute explosion.
The two films will be shown from sunset to 2:00 a.m. on the display windows of the Goethe-Institut at 1626 Boul. St-Laurent, Montréal, Québec, H2X 2T1, Canada and can be viewed on an indoor screen during the Goethe-Institut's opening hours:
