Directed by Misha Horacek

Logline: A lyrical meditation on moon cycles and the female body.

Synopsis: A female persona enters a new time, released from fertility. She negotiates her place between iron works and a moss-edged river as she enacts a tender rite. She carries the blood, one last time, as her moon cycles recede into body memory. She invites new lunar relationship in. MOON RIVER is visual poem about the female body and change.

Director's Statement: MOON RIVER grew from my personal journey approaching menopause, and my desire to honour this vital, universal rite of passage. With MOON RIVER I invite the audience into a visual and sonic experience. I chose to work with elements of Butoh dance, a juxtaposition of landscapes and rhythmic editing to describe the complexity of feeling evoked by this dynamic life change.The mysterious female persona and gentle soundscape reflect the sometimes fragile and elusive nature of this body transformation.
