Synopsis:

It's the rare animator in Canada who has been able to bridge the gap between storytelling and conceptual art. One of those few, and arguably the best, is Paul Driessen, a peripatetic Dutch--Canadian whose work is as divided as his national roots. For someone who works alone or with just a few close collaborators, Driessen has made an astonishing number of films in a wildly diverse group of genres over the past 30 years. Among his more than 25 pieces can be found such accomplished works as An Old Box, a heartfelt Christmas tale; The Writer, a black comedy about mortality in the Middle Ages; Elbowing, a lively parable on non--conformity; Spotting a Cow, a free--associative visual comedy; and three split--screen stories, On Land, at Sea and in the Air, The End of the World in Four Seasons and The Boy Who Saw the Iceberg.

In 1955, a tough, skinny guitar-slinger who called himself J.R. Cash walked into the soon-to-be-famous Sun Studios in Memphis. It was a moment that would have an indelible effect on American culture. With his driving freight-train chords, steel-eyed intensity and a voice as deep and black as night, Cash sang blistering songs of heartache and survival that were gutsy, full of real life and unlike anything heard before. That day kicked off the electrifying early career of Johnny Cash. As he pioneered a fiercely original sound that blazed a trail for rock, country, punk, folk and rap stars to come, Cash began a rough-and-tumble journey of personal transformation. In the most volatile period of his life, he evolved from a self-destructive pop star into the iconic 'Man in Black" " facing down his demons, fighting for the love that would raise him up, and learning how to walk the razor-thin line between destruction and redemption.
