The film uses stereoscopic 3D to animate photographs taken by Jacques Henri Lartigue between 1903 and 1929, revealing a lesser-known aspect of his work as an amateur passionate about the technique.
Denis Gaubert, a renowned cinematographer, selected approximately 5,000 stereoscopic images from Lartigue's 120,000 photographs. He also delved into the photographer's writings to construct the narrative, ultimately choosing 323 stereoscopic photographs for the final cut.
The documentary aims to recreate the visual experience of depth, which was central to Lartigue's practice. The images were restored respecting the original documents, without the use of artificial intelligence.
The 68-minute film is preceded by the short documentary "Stéréodrome", also by Denis Gaubert, which traces the history of stereoscopic photography.
