Arena

Directed by Lois Siegel
Canada, 1979 (animation / experimental, 7 minutes, colour, English)
Video (SAW Video)

Film Description:
"Arena is a study of images and movement. Stark black and white photographs of faces have been airbrushed with colour. They dissolve one into another. The central image is a long boy: Guy. Guy is a deaf mute. As the film progresses, the viewer is exposed to Guy's special world of faces. In Arena, two worlds encounter each other, but the exchange is only visual—a dialogue of silence."
