The story

What Is Seances About?

The premise of Seances without spoilers.

A uniquely experimental film, Seances is a collaboration with the National Film Board of Canada and features the creative vision of Guy Maddin. The film generates sequences dynamically, creating potentially hundreds of thousands of distinct narratives that exist for a single viewing. These sequences pay homage to lost silent films, blending nostalgia with humor, and exploring the impact of loss within cinema. The experience offers a fleeting, unrepeatable moment for each audience member.
