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. . .
