A small mechanical family...
“The Androids Jaquet-Droz“, part of the official selection at the 25th International UNESCO Festival of Art and Educational Films....
Between 1770 and 1773, after the disappearance of his young daughter and wife, Pierre Jaquet-Droz, clockmaker by trade builds a “small mechanical family“.
A worthy successor to the famous Vaucanson, he created with his son Henry-Louis, and Jean-Frédéric Leschot, androids whose size, faces and movements closely imitated real life.
The birth of the automatons writer, draftsman and musician illustrate an important step forward in medical research that led to the fabrication of artificial organs and prosthesis’s, resulting in the favorable replacement of missing limbs. Similar to Vaucanson, Jaquet-Droz´s goal wasn’t merely to entertain but also to educate the public and advance science.
The end of the 18th century a time of “android fever“ and it was at this moment that these and other extraordinary creatures were created. Including the famous chess player Baron von Kempelen, the talking head by the Abbey Mical and, later the Maillardet brothers’ famous magicians and psychics, were a few of these mechanic curiosities.
This film is an invitation to take a voyage across time, where dreams and reality are firmly intertwined.
