Next film’s working title: THE HUMAN MACHINE.

The subject of Carl Valiquet’s next project will be on people working physically.

During his recent voyage in Indonesia, where he shot and edited a film on the ritual of cockfighting, Carl Valiquet was struck by the great number of people who lift or move large loads by the shear force of their arms or that carry heavy objects on their heads.

In search of images of these “workers”, the photographer filmmaker plans to travel the whole of Indonesia, from East to West. He will then go to India and Bangladesh.

“Manual work is the apprenticeship of honesty”. (Mahatma Gandhi)

EYE OF THE FATHER EYE OF THE SON

2006 | Short film | 13 minutes

In 1950 , Jean-Victor Valiquet left his wife and his two children to go and work in Nitchequon, a weather station in northern Quebec. On his spare time, he took photographs of the local Cree Indians.

54 years later, Carl Valiquet, now a photographer, finds some of the children that appeared on his father’s photographs.

In 2004, the son leaves on a journey that would take him in his father’s footsteps.
