SAND OR PETER AND THE WOLF

The story a loose interpretation of the fable Peter and the Wolf, in which a boy's fear of the dark, the woods, and the wolf, is contronted and resolved. The film shows the extraordinary graphic possibilities of one of nature's most ordinary substances, sand. In Leaf's hands, sand becomes a subtle medium of expression. The film marks the start of Leaf's technique of under-the-camera animation, which she developes in subsequent films. Michael Riesman wrote the score.
