The Moving Statue (French: La liberté d'une statue) is a Canadian drama film, directed by Olivier Asselin and released in 1990. An experimental black-and-white film inspired by the silent film era, the film is presented as an old Egyptian silent film that has just recently been rediscovered, and is being translated to the viewing audience by means of a deaf lip reader whose sign language is in turn translated by the narrator; the silent film itself depicts the story of a young woman (Lucille Fluet) wandering in the desert, who attracts unwanted attention after she miraculously resurrects a man (Ronald Houle) who had been turned to stone.
