Watch Pirouette (1969) Official Trailer

The very first independent film by animator Georges Schwizgebel, which was made in 1969 as an episode in the anthology film "Patchwork". Along with Schwizgebel, "Patchwork" included the talents of filmmakers Claude Luyet, Daniel Suter, Gerald Poussin and Manuel Otero. "Pirouette" combines a simple drawing of a figure with photographs, cut-outs from magazines and samples of cloth. A prominent motif of this collage mix is a drawn male face slightly inspired by pop-art.
