Fairytale - 2023 | 3:30 min. | Color | 16mm. Film by Lawrence Jordan, music by John Davis

“As John Davis’s music points out, FAIRYTALE is a semi ominous/semi mysterious conjuring of the long ago, and far away, as rendered in the illustrations for Kingsley's Water-Babies (1863). There are no cardboard witches or villains (this is not a Disney-thing), only a spirit of the frozen North. The central character is the water baby, who is an inactive watcher of the action. And the action portrays whatever leaps into the viewer’s mind.” - Light Cone
