Where Is the Black Beast

This darkly enchanting film offers an interpretation of Crow, by post-war/pre-flower power poet Ted Hughes. It is made from animating hundreds of photographs, all amateur snapshots found in flea markets and junk shops. Lee digs beneath their innocent, familiar surfaces to reveal an extremely dark view of the world and of humanity. With music by Algis Kizys (Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, Glenn Branca, etc.).
