[Frameworks] Andrew Noren

[Benjamin Léon]

It's really a bad news.

I remember when I saw *Charmed Particles* for the first time. A true
fascinating film on the reality of light and the flesh illusory. More
recently, his film *Imaginary Light *explored another field for light
(moving abstraction).

A true underestimate artist.
