Synopsis

Syrinx is the first film by Ryan Larkin, a young artist associated with Norman McLaren’s student group. It retells the ancient Greek legend of Syrinx, the nymph who took refuge in river reeds to escape the pursuit of the goat-god Pan. To depict the story, Larkin uses a series of charcoal sketches. The film is accompanied by the music "Syrinx" by Claude Debussy, composed for solo flute.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 1

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
