The Small Ones

The Small Ones
3 min. color sound  2007

During World War II, the United States Army hired Lynne Sachs’ cousin,  Sandor Lenard, to reconstruct the bones – small and large – of dead American soldiers. This short anti-war cine-poem is composed of highly abstracted battle imagery and children at a birthday party.

“Profound.  The soundtrack is amazing.  The image at the end of the girl with the avocado seed so hopeful.  Good work.” Barbara Hammer
