What is Magic Explained about?
Magic Explained (1980) plays with a set of traditional symbols that appear frequently in Barrie’s work—and that are familiar from Maya Deren’s Meshes of the Afternoon—in a manner analogous to Méliés’s play with people and objects; the imagery is exquisitely hand-scratched and hand-painted. The story is brought to life by director Diana Barrie. With a runtime of 4 minutes, it offers a concise viewing experience.
