Sohrab And Rustum
Streaming video - 2018
WINNER! BEST ANIMATION, SYDNEY FILM FESTIVAL! SOHRAB AND RUSTUM is an animated film by award-winning Australian animator, Lee Whitmore, about a charismatic young English teacher reading a famous poem by Matthew Arnold to her class of fourteen year old girls whose concerns are pop music and nail polish. Unexpectedly the epic poem takes the girls on a journey to ancient Persia and a legendary battle on the sand between two warriors, the Tartar Sohrab and the Persian Rustum. The story ends tragically and the girls are confronted with the reality of death. In the last stanza watercolour images of the night sky over the mighty Oxus River are a reminder of the beautiful eternal nature of life. Back in the classroom the girls brush sand off their ...legs and Lee looks at the scarf a Tartar warrior has given her. The teacher smiles as she leaves the classroom.
