The film

During a 30-day marathon performance inspired by a personal tragedy, artist Victor Pilon shoveled. Based on The Myth of Sisyphus from Albert Camus, his choreographed 182-hour physical and psychological achievement offered moments of authenticity, introspection and beauty captured in Sisyphus, the film.

Through the contemplative yet mesmerizing images of his endless task, we witness the evolution of the acclaimed performance and its effect on the artist and the audience. Exhibiting emotion, determination and acceptance, Sisyphus reminds us that a human tragedy can be transformed into a liberating and healing journey.
