SONG OF THE MIRACULOUS HIND

Iconic Hungarian animator Marcell Jankovics (SON OF THE WHITE MARE) throws down a dazzling hypercolored masterpiece of myth and folklore, blending Ice Age history, primordial symbolism and mindbending metaphysics. SONG is Jankovics’ incredibly ambitious attempt to depict thousands of years of Hungarian culture based on early Siberian and Finno-Ugric legends, and incorporating Iranian, Turkic and Scythian artistic influences to boot. The animation is strikingly unique, bursting with bold surreal visuals that carry the film even when the narrative goes abstract. A kaleidoscopic journey that’s as strange and beautiful as the myths it celebrates. As the ancient ballad sings: "The wonderful hind of their dreams ran ahead of them."
