Tanka: An Animated Vision of the Tibetan Book of the Dead. Tanka means,
literally, "a thing rolled up." Tanka, photographed
from Tibetan scroll paintings of the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries,
is a cyclical vision of ancient gods and demons, an animated journey through
the image world of the Tibetan Book of the Dead. More about the film
"With his dazzling TANKA David Lebrun has filmed a series of Tibetan paintings
of mythological subjects and then programmed his footage into an optical
printer to create the illusion of animation. The dazzling, vibrantly colored
result is a series of dancing gods, wild revels, raging fires and sea
battles between monsters." (Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times)
"An extraordinary film." (Melinda Wortz, Art News)
