The Devil's Toy Redux
The Devil's Toy Redux is a bridge between Claude Jutra's time and ours. A series of reinterpretations, written and shot by fourteen directors from across the world, are juxtaposed with the original 1966 film. The project is as much a tribute to the original film as it is an invitation to see our society through a different lens. Skateboarders, filmmakers, web developers, and designers have joined their effort to make this collective work.
