Abraham
"Abraham," a 75-minute color film depicting the Biblical story, was given its first public showing Saturday night at Queensborough Community College in Bayside, Queens. The movie was produced for the State of Israel, marking its 20th anniversary, by André Girard, the French painter of religious subjects and a professor of art at the school, who died in September. Mr. Girard made the film by applying color directly on film. The artist has gained a considerable reputation for film work in this genre. In "Abraham," a horizontal flow of images, broken by close-ups of the main figures, tells the story as a narrator recites the Biblical text.
