Pas de deux is a 1968 short dance film by Norman McLaren, produced by the National Film Board of Canada.
The film was photographed on high contrast stock, with optical, step-and-repeat printing, for a sensuous and almost stroboscopic appearance. It shows a ballerina (Margaret Mercier) dancing by herself (or rather, with images of herself), before being joined by a male dancer (Vincent Warren), to perform the pas de deux of the title.[1]
The film is choreographed to Romanian pan pipe music.[2]
[edit] Awards
Pas de deux received 17 awards, including the 1969 BAFTA Award for Best Animated Film and an Academy Award nomination.[3][1]
