Pig by Steven Subotnick
ZF Team
Steven Subotnick makes a film out of his own unconscious, mixed with associative explorations of themes found in history, folklore, and his own unconscious. Steven treats each film as an intuitive essay on a particular subject.
In Pig, the synopsis has only the bare description that the pig is everything, but its imagery is captivating:
Guilt, confrontation with both visual metamorphosis and written words, are only some of the means that Subotnick uses to structure a space initially empty to be filled by human remorse and a frantic activity to avoid the inevitable.
The vast repertoire of squeaks (by Joel Frenzer) intensifies the angst before the final, pig's ascension to heaven.
Steven Subotnick is an independent animator. He is currently teaching animation at the Rhode Island School of Design, the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, and Brown University.
