See 2000-R5667-78 for a photograph of this drawing., Colin Low directed the film "In the Labyrinth", which was produced using these drawings. "In the Labyrinth" is described on the NFB website as: A film without commentary in which multiple images, sometimes complementary, sometimes contrasting, draw the viewer through the different stages of a labyrinth. The tone of the film moves from great joy to wrenching sorrow; from stark simplicity to ceremonial pomp. It is life as it is lived by the people of the world, each one, as the film suggests, in a personal labyrinth. In the Labyrinth was first released as a multi-screen presentation for Chamber III of the Labyrinth at Expo 67. These separate images were integrated into a single strand of film,, using a "five-on-one" cinematic technique. Film without words.
