Watch Pas de Deux

Dark and light are just two of the technical aspects that comprise this short Canadian dance film by Norman McLaren from 1968. Although the focus of this film is the two dancers, the deux of Pas de Deux is also the artistry used in the photography and videography art coming together. The aesthetic movements of the dancers are illustrated in abstract and illusory forms by McLaren's own photographic choreography. All of these collaborative actions are immersed in the haunting sounds of Romanian pan pipe music.

Pas de Deux is a 1968 music movie with a runtime of 13 minutes. It has received mostly positive reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 7.8.
