Grimoon is a musical and visual project; one day, Grimoon challenged themselves: making a short movie for each song.
That's the way the band invented several stories and strange characters.
In Grimoon's world, nothing is impossible: two cows in love can ride a bike, two umbrellas fall in love in Venice , a mocha and a beer bottle land in Golasecca Town right in the middle of the pampa, a clown plays chess with some puppets…
Each short has its story and each story has its characters.
Grimoon's fantasy gives life to objects, and objects make fun of reality, without limits or boundaries.
What started as a game, then grew up as a real passion, and Grimoon have already done about 30 shorts.
But these shorts are not merely a visual amusement: they were born to narrate the songs, to give them another life, a more complete form. The song becomes visual and musical, and in the live acts Grimoon put together a sort of cinema-gig where anything can happen.
Grimoon's shorts are entirely self produced, characters and costumes are always hand-made.
Grimoon shoot on super 8 and on digital.
If having given life to about 30 stories were not enough, Grimoon also wanted to try to narrate long stories. That's why they realised 2 long movies: "La lanterne magique" released in 2006 with the homonymous album, and "Neera" released with the album "Super 8".
“ La Lanterne Magique ” tells the story of Mr. Lillo, a journalist (in spite of him) leading a very boring life, until the day he has to go to Ville Lumiere. There he will meet strange characters and will live an adventure that will change his life.
"Neera" tells the story of the epic-oniric treap of a painter into Greak mythology. Neera is poisoned and her husband, Friedrich, sure to be the gulty dreams every night to discover Greeck mythology world to find the Hadès where his wife is. Helped by the Muse Calliope, the painter takes part of several mythology events which give him the inspiration to draw.
