I'm not a machine
Jonathan Goyette
What does an ultramarathon runner feel when running 160 kilometers in 24 hours? Sébastien Roulier has represented Canada in world championships for this type of endurance race. For him, running is an art, much like painting: the runner is a painter whose movement is the creation. The film takes up this beautiful analogy to describe the runner's inner experience through paintings made on 16mm cinematic film.
