Moon Light
MOONLIGHT
A Glint Of Light On Broken Glass
a poetic, trancelike short film by Andrea Hackl
an ode to a primal force, the power of water & the sacred feminine,
MOON LIGHT, while diving through shadow, is an ode to light, their primal dance, which, in some legends, is seen as the dance creating the universe.
“For each of us as women, there is a dark place within, where hidden and growing our true spirit rises… These places of possibility within ourselves are dark because they are ancient and hidden; they have survived and grown strong through that darkness. Within these deep places, each one of us holds an incredible reserve of creativity and power, of unexamined and unrecorded emotion and feeling.” – Audre Lorde
This work was produced in frame of an artistic residency Cidadela Art District, Cascais (Portugal)
Special Thanx to Paulo Arraiano.
