Book

The Conference of Birds (2011)

My favorite passage from the book:"Are we alive or dead?Where is that king with all the answers?We've come all this way.Let us see him!We made it through all those valleys!""Valleys? They were only an illusion, birds, a dream. We've been through nothing. We are just now at the beginning of our jo...

Ptačí sněm (2011)

A visual improvisation over the themes in Farid ud-Din Attar's classic Persian book "The Conference of the Birds" (also "The Speech of the Birds").

Also, given the title, I expected a more pointed exploration of S-E's book The Little Pr...

A lot.At least they do when the prince is known throughout the kingdom as Prince Brat. And Jemmy, an orphan plucked from the streets t...

The Wind Singer (2002)

In the city of Aramanth, the lives of its citizens are ruled by a color-coded caste system of standardized tests. How well one does on the yearly “High Examination” determines what you do for work, where you live, and even what color clothing you wear. Those that test poorly find themselves consi...
