Sisyphus

Hungarian animation in black-and-white, 1974, by Jankovics Marcell, 2' OPEN-AIR SCREENING

...

Directed by Jankovics Marcell

Being a variation on the drama of the mythological figure, Sisyphus’s superhuman effort to roll the rock to the top of the hill becomes evocative trough the freestyle animation of the dynamic lines of ink. The film was inspired by the immensity of the undertaking Marcell Jankovics faced in the creation of the full-length animation Johnny Corncob (János vitéz).

Screening before the movie Son of the White Mare (Fehérlófia).
