Cat's Cradle
197410 min 18 secFilm: Animation
Direction: Paul Driessen
Production: Gaston Sarault
An animated fable without words, starring some Gothic characters--witches, cloaked riders, and the like--in a tale about the hungry natural world. Here the artist plays cat's cradle with ideas, especially the notion that one thing leads to another and that lives lead from one to another; he supports the action with a witch's brew of sounds.
