Dans ses projets personnels, Seth transforme sa vie intérieure intense en récits illustrés pleins d’esprit. Particulièrement prolifique, il réalise des bandes dessinées en partie autobiographiques ainsi que des illustrations commerciales, mais a également ce qu’il appelle ses « petits passe-temps ».

Reconnu pour ses bandes dessinées, en particulier Palookaville, le bédéiste canadien Seth figure parmi les plus grands conteurs du genre au monde. Dans ses projets personnels, Seth transforme sa vie intérieure intense en récits illustrés pleins d’esprit. Particulièrement prolifique, il réalise des bandes dessinées en partie autobiographiques ainsi que des illustrations commerciales, mais a également ce qu’il appelle ses « petits passe-temps ». Le réalisateur Luc Chamberland brosse un portrait de cet homme réfléchi en entremêlant des éléments biographiques révélateurs à une animation saisissante. Résultat : une fusion artistique de techniques cinématographiques témoignant parfaitement de l’univers de création diversifié de Seth. Cet habile portrait de l’un de nos artistes les plus uniques nous révèle un être ironique et un conteur hors pair qui s’exprime sur sa vie et sur sa démarche artistique.

School subjects

A documentary about the Canadian cartoonist Seth. Ideal for classroom discussions, research projects and activities related to Canadian art and literary figures. This documentary features both live-action and animated portions: Why do you think the filmmaker made this choice, and how do these elements complement each other in shaping the film? Choose one of the animated shorts, and then write about how it connects to larger themes or ideas explored in the documentary. During the film, Seth speaks about how his art changes when he is creating art for himself versus for an audience. As an exercise, create a piece of art such as a story or a comic just for yourself, and then create a piece you intend on sharing with your classmates. Afterwards, contemplate the differences between the two pieces; how did the content change? How did your creative process change? Was there one you preferred? Explain your answers.
