Fountains of Paris Stephen Broomer, 2018

Paris, past and past and present. The fountains of Paris witness day passing into night, gatherings of children and workers and lovers. The fountains of Paris, decorated with statues of an ancient order of philosophers and gods, confer with medieval illustrations in stained glass, merging Christian and GrecoRoman visions as we fade to a marvellous Sound by Stuart Broomer. Made using materials from the Jacques Madvo Collection. Special thanks to Denise and Hermine Madvo. Commissioned by the Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto and supported by the Canada Council for the Arts.
