For his Master Thesis at Arts et Technologies de l'Image, Mathieu Gérard created "Steel Life", a breathtaking tapestry of textures and light that evokes themes of genesis and rebirth.

While there is not obvious narrative, the film uses abstract realism-lovingly rendered imagery inspired by nature to build an associative network of ideas. The lush soundtrack, composed by Mathieu Alvado and performed by the Star Pop Orchestra, adds a dramatic arc to the film.
