User:Shawn à Montréal/Rectangle & Rectangles

Rectangle & Rectangles (French:Rectangle et Rectangles) is an abstract National Film Board of Canada (NFB) animated short film by René Jodoin, in which a progression of brightly coloured geometric shapes bombard the viewer, set to a drum beat. Jodoin completed the film in 1984, having left his position as head of the NFB's French language animation unit five years earlier to direct his own projects.

To create the film, Jodoin programmed a computer to coordinate an orchestration of an electronic beam of light, color filters and a camera. The filmmaker stated that "the aim was to show time. I tried to make a film with the absence of almost everything so that you could see time move and visually you can become interested through the play of colour and motion."

The video release of the film by the NFB included a warning that it may trigger epileptic seizures.
