what we did

A music video for a classical piece of music, filmed in a colorful, cinematic style, Doux Temps explores the stark contrast between, on the one hand, the somewhat mundane daily lives of four characters and, on the other, the lyrical inspiration of the lyrics and music, which evoke the amorous passions of the "sweet times" of youth.

Looking into the camera and lip-syncing to the soprano's singing, each character gradually drifts into these happy memories, which evoke a sense of relaxation and euphoria.

Funded by the Canada Council for the Arts, Doux Temps is a North-South collaboration between Brazilian filmmaker Caio Amon and Canadian pianist Marc Bourdeau, accompanied by soprano Jacqueline Woodley.

We also produced a making-of for this production, which can be accessed here.

Awarded at MIAFF - Milan Independent Award Film Festival 2024 - "Best Music Video"; Europe Music Video Awards 2024 - Best "Art Music Video"; selected at Festival du Cinéma International en Abiti-Témiscamingue Rouyn-Noranda 2023 (Canada), FeX Festival eXperimental de Cinema Alcântara 2023 (Brazil).
