Le travailleur or worker in english is a superb stop motion made by chateau vacant, a french collective. The group includes
three guys, Yannick Calvez, Lémuel Malicoutis & Baptiste Alchourroun who lives now in Montreal, Canada. The motion is perfectly realised and makes lots of sense. It makes us think about the value of work.
Animation movie realized in Strasbourg in a first time, and then during a seven months residence taking place in a disused building of the Morvan hospital in Brest and at last in a farm shed of Kéraliou.
Decors are installations at human size, no miniaturised, of which each element was handmade.Characters are articulated wooden dummies also at human size and handmade.
The theme music is an original composition by Hamza Touré.
This movie received the first prize of animation movie at the Strasboug festival "Filmer en Alsace" in 2008, and nominated at the Berlin festival Illustrative in 2009
