Evolution of the Red Star
7.8
Opening with a classic image of Chairman Mao spewing red star tears, this animation is a masterful example of Beckett’s distinctive technique as he continuously develops a cycle of six drawings, culminating in their transmutation via the optical printer. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in partnership with iotaCenter and National Film Preservation Foundation in 2007.
