A spider, a snail, a fly. Writhing forest inhabitants crawl through the undergrowth. Filmed and projected in Super-8.
Compound Eyes shows a macro-menagerie of natural life-forms that are introduced in a forest’s tapestry of earth, water and air: spiders, slugs, flies, bees, and ants navigate their lives in darkness and light. First film in a series of five short film studies, commissioned by the San Francisco Exploratorium.
