Synopsis

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 color 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.
