The poet is at his writing desk when a coachman knocks at his window and invites him to follow him. A stream of memories passes by the glass door of the barouche… the opera, a wonderful diva… The time has come for the poet to write his last verse.

Arnaud Demuynck
After having written various screenplays for fiction and animated films, in 2000 with "L'Écluse" Arnaud set out to direct a "choreographic fiction". In 2001 he directed his "choreographic trilogy": "Signs of Life" (2004), "The Shadow of Veil" (2006) and "Breakout"(2007). While also pursuing his career as a producer of short films, which he considers as a vital genre for animation, he began in 2007, to develop "Par les fenêtres", inspired by the 19th century poets. In 2006, he set up www.toondra.com, the first website entirely devoted to selling short animated films on line. In 2008, he co-writes his first full length film "Le Vilain Petit Chartreux" with Fabrice Luang-Vija.
