Experimental short film: Daughters of Danu III 2023.
Daughters of Danu follows a river deity who is inhabiting a local lake. Her emotions towards her environment are transitioning between conflict and care, as the goddess is experiencing displacement and connection. The artwork is part one of a larger project that reimagines forgotten water deities that have once occupied Ireland’s rural areas. Goddesses that have been protecting water surface environments, who have been cherished by communities, and whose stories have been told, but now are lost.
Performer Kallirroi Vratti embodies the river deity and the accompanying sound introduces music that has been composed by sound designer Chris Somers.
This short film was shot on location at VIP Studio Nottingham, with a Blackmagic camera.
