La Tour de Vesone is an archaeological and historical reconstitution of the ancient Roman forum of Perigueux (France), which has since disappeared, except for the ruins of the tower with the same name. The objective of the film is not to present a whole building, but rather to propose a subjective and personal promenade highlighting some details. At the same time, another intention is to create a very particular atmosphere and mood through the careful use of the light and lighting effects.
Sébastien Larrue (F) studied inBordeaux and has a baccalaureate in science and a degree in architecture. He also holds a European Media Master of Art (EMMA) diploma in numerical media from digital Imagery Laboratory of the National Center of Comica Art and the Image (CNBDI) of Angouléme (France). He received recognition for his film La Tour de Vésonde from the EMMA jury and it was selected for the festival Imagina of Monte Carlo. Sébastien currently works at Kalisto, a video games company in Bordeaux.
