Spiderweb

Spiderweb (1976) is a British short film directed by National Film and Television School graduate Paul Miller. It is a fairly faithful adaptation of “Death and the Compass�, a 1942 short story by Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986). The site of the action, an unnamed city in the original story, is given as “Borgesia� at the beginning of the film.

Spiderweb is available as an "Extra" on the DVD of Alex Coxs 1996 Death and the Compass, a later adaptation of the same short-story.
