Syl Disjonk: Director of Ethereal Chrysalis

 

Syl Disjonk : Writer & director

Born in 1975 in the city of Quebec, Syl Disjonk uses his artschool background and his FX editing skills to create wildy psychotronic films. In 2006, he produces the international success Zordax II, a spaghetti post-apocalyptic short film which earns him the Vitesse Lumiere Festival’s Public Award. In homage to the legendary metal band Voivod, he directs We Are Connected in 2007, a film which exhibits Syl Disjonk’s experimental sensibility. With his last film, Ethereal Chrysalis, he signs an ambitious creation which transcends all his prior work.
