Zafes Film

Logo (December 24, 1971)

Visuals: On a dark blue, cloudy background, we see parts of a triangle zooming straight at the viewer. After, a Medusa-like head suddenly zooms in, while the word "zafes" in a bold font appears. "PRESENTA", also in a bold font then appears with a wipe effect.

Trivia: The Medusa-like symbol is known as the triskeles, depicted as the (winged) head of Medusa and three wheat ears, representing the extreme fertility of the land of Sicily, and also the symbol used on the flag of Sicily.

Technique: A mix of live action and motion-control animation.

Audio: A bell/gong noise at the start, with a theme that goes from quiet to very loud, and when the head appears, a multitude of zaps, ending with another bell/gong noise.

Availability: This was seen on Siamo tutti in libertà provvisoria.
