This abstract film imitates the structure of Lewis Carroll’s nonsense poem. Through portraits of the director’s own children, the family album is transcoded into abstract light prints that symbolise the monster. While working on the film, the author realised that by portraying his own children, he was creating a self-portrait and eventually accepted that Jabberwocky was, in fact, himself.
