The alphabet (1968)

Short film colors of 4 mn in 16 mm. Realization, scenario and Photography by David Lynch. Peggy Lynch interprets " the girl ".


This second short film of David Lynch is carried out in 1968. It will be really its first approach of the medium of the audio-visual.

The story starts with the narration of a man who recites the alphabet without pronouncing Z, a group of children joins himin his ceaseless song which badly puts at ease a girl. This one suffering awfully from the arrival of the letters in its cranium.

This short film presents to us various styles of turning, energy of the final improvement of images(pencil...), with the pixellisation (image by image on alive subjects), or image by image.

The alphabet does not leave respite to the witness who ingurgitates all these images without finding time to analyze what he sees! Moreover the tape its is made only with strange noises, resonancies, leaving the only melody to the song made by the children and the man.

This short film has been financed by the sale of its first works " Six figures " with a millionaire, and its general topic is " the fear related to the training ".
