Description

A Film By Peter Friedman and Jean-Francois Brunet


Winner of 10 International Awards

There exists a world where death creates life, where suicide without sadness occurs billions of times an hour, where every individual does exactly what is best for the whole society. It is a world of highly sophisticated communication and stunning choreography, of vast depth and endless mystery. It is utterly alien, but it is also--in every moment--creating us all.

Death by Design is a guided tour into the invisible world of cells, told through a collage of metaphors. State-of-the-art micro-cinematography is playfully intercut with parallel images from life at the human scale: a hundred lighted violins, imploding skyscrapers, pieces of film on the cutting room floor. . .


"Intelligent and imaginative, astoundingly orchestrated!" -New York Times
"Giddily Pleasurable...when was the last time you saw stunning microscopic images mixed with highlights from Busby Berkeley movies?!?" -The Georgia Straight
"**** Masterfully accessible, often hilarious!" -Vancouver Sun
