Description

Orpheus is the great musician of Greek mythology, who played so beautifully that everyone who heard it was bewitched. When his beloved Eurydike dies on their wedding day, he travels to the underworld to retrieve her. A stop-motion re-imagining of the story about Orpheus and Eurydice from Greek mythology with a northern folk tale inspired style. Shot on 16mm with a Bolex and inspired by Czech puppetry, German expressionism, and body horror.
