The Alphabet
Directed by David Lynch
Produced by Pensylvania Academy of Fine Arts
A surreal, nightmarish black-and-white animation that transforms the alphabet into grotesque, unsettling visions, prioritizing visceral strangeness over narrative coherence.
A woman's dark and absurdist nightmare vision comprising a continuous recitation of the alphabet and bizarre living representations of each letter.
