A fairy tale is not a metaphor or an allegory: everything in it is literal. There are strange fairy tales and tales written in kid tongues, untranslatable ones. They don't have morals, but they do have shapeshifting and bewitchment. Your favorite fairy tale is a self-fulfilling prophecy or an inverted one. “Tales” is a dedication to lost films assembled from fragments, films that were rotting in attics, born in the era before Griffith and were cut off suddenly. I achieved the effect of pure affirmation with images whose nature and logic almost cannot be grasped, like a dream or first memories. It can be said, that these are fairy tales from the early childhood of cinema, such as I remember them.
