Swan (1986)

Release Date: 1986-06-01
Runtime: 0h 3min
Production Country: United Kingdom
Director: Alia Syed

A white swan prepares for flight, flexing and caressing, extending and folding its wings repeatedly as if bracing for a long journey. The close-up images of the swan are de-contextualised via repetition and framing; abstracting the natural form until it becomes a blank screen, which the viewer can project their own meaning onto.
