Xavier Dolan on Imagination

He is the Wunderkind of Cannes where he presented his first feature film "I killed my mother" in the Quinzaine des Réalisateurs in May 2009 and his second film "Heatbeats" one year later. There is an enormous amount of references to other artists and filmmakers in his work but his imagery is powered by his own imagination. To us Xavier Dolan spoke about that power of imagination in cinema and in life.

Er ist das Wunderkind von Cannes, seit er im Mai 2009 in der Quinzaine des Réalisateurs seinen Debütfilm "J'ai tué ma mère" und im darauf folgenden Jahr in der Sektion Un Certain Regard seinen Film "Les amours imaginaires" präsentiert hat. Seine Referenzen zur Kunst- und Kinogeschichte sind vielfältig, doch seine Bilder entspringen der eigenen Vorstellungskraft. Mit uns hat Xavier Dolan über die Kraft der Imagination im Kino und im Leben gesprochen.
