Malek Khorshid / Iran / 1975

There is little information for this animated (presumably) 1975 film, conceived by painter Ali Akbar Sadeghi. This lack of information promotes the film’s mystique. It is a telling of the Sun King, a motif in which he battles a series of creatures evocative of Grendel, and his protection of a princess. There is no dialogue, only occasional animated calligraphic captions, and the soundtrack is entirely percussive. The result is absolutely beautiful.
