The Race

Animation/Short Film, France 2015

Condemned to grow, never satisfied, humanity is accelerating and rushing in a mad rush. What if this headlong rush was not the result of our free will, but the result of the mechanics that govern the universe? In this short film, director Michaël le Meur links together a wide variety of images from our modern world using the shape of a circle at the centre of the screen. This process allows him to let the succession of images give rise to an interpretation for the viewer. At the heart of the film are inventions, progress and modernity, but are we still masters of them, or are we being dragged along in a never-ending race?
