The story

What Is Prelude: Dog Star Man About?

The premise of Prelude: Dog Star Man without spoilers.

A creation myth unfolds in light, patterns and rapid cutting set against silence. It opens on a black screen, then streaks of light erupt into an explosion of color. Small circles appear, then the Sun, Earth, woods and a nude woman suggesting childbirth. The shifting imagery conveys movement through time; it belongs to the Dog Star Man series.
