Castaway
Short experimental film made by Columbia College students David Szabo and Charles Lyman, which won a First Place Hugo award at the Chicago International Film Festival in the undergraduate category. "From a passage in Moby Dick. The small Black cabinboy from the Pequod is castaway in the ocean, and goes mad before he can be rescued. His mind is carried down alive to wonderous depths where the strange shapes of the unwarped primal world glide to and fro before his passive eyes... Man's insanity is Heaven's sense, and Pip becomes as indifferent, uncompromised as his god." - Center Cinema Co-op Filmmakers Distribution Catalog, 1972.
