THE LION AND THE ZEBRA MAKE GOD'S RAW JEWELS

Directed by Stan Brakhage
United States, 1999
Short, Avant-Garde

Synopsis

This film is a hand-painted combination of shapes which suggest, as appropriately colored, jungle, open veldt, horizontals of grasses, shag-shape yellow of lion’s mane, the black & white stripes of the zebra, the eyes, the teeth, the tearing open into raw blood-red meat and curve of bone.
