NOMADIC MYTHOLOGIES, 20min., USA
Directed by Laura Perdrizet
“we are the dream the city is having about itself.” ~ “the city is the dream we are having of where we belong” Nomadic Mythologies is a genre bending tale of a woman and the imagination of the city. As she maps each site with her body, the city is transformed from the foreign into the familiar, the dream wakens, their connection grows, ultimately revealing what belonging somewhere truly means. Nomadic Mythologies shines light on the invisible edges between memory and desire, perception and experience, reality and fiction. The boundary between the perpetual and the evanescent vanishes, the concept of a map becomes a dimensional frontier of experiential wonder. Simultaneously an experimental narrative and screen dance film, this psychogeographic journey is inspired by wanderlust, Italo Calvino, and kinship.
