Set more than ten thousand years in the past, this animation imagines animal life in an ancient world. Elk dance across the screen, bounding through unspoiled lands and battling both the elements and one another. Music transforms the animals’ movements into a dance and the animation affords a magic quality to this vision of prehistoric times.

6 minutes, Ireland, 1998, Colour
