“Feathers of Fire: A Persian Epic” is like a Disney fairy tale. It’s such an engrossing cinematic spectacle—exhilarating journeys, giant monsters, kings and queens, larger-than-life heroes, lovers lost and found, and an enchanting story about the triumph of love against all odds—that you’ll forget you’re watching a puppet show. That’s because “Feathers” is really more than an ordinary puppet show.

Originally presented as a play at the Brooklyn Art Museum (BAM) in 2016, “Feathers of Fire” has been transformed into a live-animation video by Fictionville Studio, and is now available for streaming on Vimeo.
