Salomé in Low Land

Salomé in Low Land

Christian Zagler | Austria | 2006 | 10' |

| IFFR 2006

The beautiful Salomé, the daughter of Herod, here in the form of a green ball, wants the head of John the Baptist after he has rejected her love. A daring interpretation of Richard Strauss’ opera that has the form of a computer game – an ultimate attempt to bring these two extremes together in a short animation film.
