Alchemists is a visual fantasy, a gripping tale that is outrageously 'small' in its details, brazenly 'larger-than-life' in its themes: life, death and rebirth; creation and destruction; permanence and impermanence, spontaneity and control. Bold swoops of liquid colour surge with composer Normand Roger's variations on Mozart's Requiem to a startling denouement. Impressionistic and powerful, this animation film will provoke reflection on creativity, relationships, and the environment. Film without words.
