The Legend of the Old Shepherd Xeudi and His Friend Reimann (1974)
In his last and only long-form film, Hans-Jakob Siber tells the tale of a hunting accident in the Alps, involving two old shepherds. Accompanied by psychedelic music of pop group The Mandrake Memorial and purely visually narrated, Siber's Xeudi is a hypnotic trip to the inner world of the old men and the mountains in which they have made their home.
Director: Hans-Jakob Siber
