Spiderweb (1976) is a British short film directed by National Film and Television School graduate . 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 Cox's 1996 Death and the Compass, a later adaptation of the same short-story.
