5/7 - Son of the White Mare
Tomorrow, Sunday (5/7) we’ll be screening Hungarian fantasy Son of the White Mare from 1981. The movie is based on a narrative poem of the same name by László Arany. Our first animation screening at the studio!
One of the great psychedelic masterpieces of world animation, Son of the White Mare is a swirling, color-mad maelstrom of mythic monsters and Scythian heroes, part-Nibelungenlied, part-Yellow Submarine, lit by jagged bolts of lightning and drenched in rivers of blue, red, gold and green. - Arbelos Films
This week’s film was chosen by Ethan:
A beautifully animated story about mythic ancient Hungarian heroes saving the universe. I’ve been wanting to see this for a while and I don’t think there’s been an animation screened here yet, so this felt like the right choice. I encourage Connor Barrett to come out to this because they said they don’t like animated movies and this could change their mind? But no pressure 😅
Son of the White Mare will be playing at Working Room tomorrow, May 7th. Doors will open at 7:30 PM and the movie will begin promptly at 8:00 PM! RSVP is not required but is always appreciated. Email me if you need the address!
Don’t forget your pillow / blanket if you want to watch from the floor! <3
