Pas de Deux is an award winning film by Scottish-Canadian director Norman McLaren, produced by the NFB.
The film sees two performers dancing the Pas de deux, filmed on high contrast film stock with very stark side lighting. This is augmented by step-and-repeat printing on an optical printer. This gives the film an almost stroboscopic appearance.
Biographer Maynard Collins points out that the "technical virtuosity of this film, its ethereal beauty, its lovely Roumanian pan-type music, made it a joy to watch, even if - perhaps, especially if - you do not care for ballet."
Special effects are by Wally Howard.
