Reflection is an exploration of Montreal through an abstract lens Director Sylvie Trouvé examines how reflected images pervade our surroundings how our senses filter out these ghost images and finally how the camera can capture emotions created by a shimmering puddle or a sparkling coloured glass surface At the same time Trouvé raises a new awareness of our urban environment The editing which animator Theodore Ushev collaborated on in a spirit of mutual emulation embraces an animation aesthetic that fully respects the filmmakers artistic vision While examining our relationship with images this exploration of the city blurs the distinction between reallife shots and animation Indeed though inspired by reality the film is thoroughly immersed in the world of animation
