**Screenwriters**: Marcell Jankovics, Laszlo Gyorgy 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. A massive cosmic oak stands at the gates of the Underworld, holding seventy-seven dragons in its roots; to combat these monsters, a dazzling white mare goddess gives birth to three heroes – Treeshaker and his brothers – who embark on an epic journey to save the universe. Directed by Hungarian animator Marcell Jankovics (famed for his 1974 Oscar-nominated short *Sisyphus*), *Son of the White Mare* has been restored in 4K using the original 35mm camera negative and sound elements by Arbelos in collaboration with the Hungarian National Film Institute – Film Archive. **Picks from the Video Store** Craving more mind-bending animation?
