- Synopsis
- The Celtic imagination is deeply rooted to the movement of the land and the exploration of mother earth, unlocking feline instinctive nature through stories, poems and dance both in myth and personal form. This film draws inspiration from books such as ‘Only the rivers run free: Northern Ireland The Women’s War’ Eileen Fairweather, Roisin McDonough and Melanie McFadyean and ‘Women who run with the Wolves - Contacting The Power Of The Wild Woman’ Clarissa Pinkola Estes. We shift through archetypal psychology the animal/ animus, shadow, persona - mask, self, father, mother, child, wise old man, hero, maiden, trickster. These old myths and indigenous ways of being to me seem key to the healing of such polarised societies and climate change.
