Produced by Rhombus Media & the National Film Board of Canada
A film by Barbara Willis Sweete
This is a portrait of composer Harry Freedman's creative
imagination, and of how he puts it to practical application in the
composition and production of a new major work. All of the musical
material in the film is drawn from "Fragments of Alice." It is
Freedman's self-declared "magnum opus", a large scale development
and adaptation from three smaller Alice-inspired compositions,
that he has already written.
The film flows between animation, live action documentary, and
live action performance. This attempt to show the creative process
from the inside out is embodied in the Cheshire Cat -- that
elusive and mysterious symbol of creative inspiration --
impossible to capture but fascinating to chase.
